Mark English has had to withdraw from the World Indoor Championships in the US this weekend because of an unlucky training accident. The 22-year-old Sky Academy Sports Scholar and 800m runner has been in sizzling form during the winter with impressive performances in Germany, Sweden, Ireland and Glasgow.They were enough to earn him a late spot running for Ireland at the high-profile three-day championships at Portland in Oregon, starting Thursday, but the Letterkenny star has reluctantly opted to rest after the incident.English said: Ive had to pull out. I ran over a pothole in training and hurt my left foot. My coach and I feel that it is too much of a risk at this stage to try racing and do any more damage to it.I feel like that it is best to pull out of Oregon and focus on recovering for Rio.It is tough luck on English who has produced a fine run of results on the pre-season European circuit following his three-break winter training trip in South Africa.He set an Irish record (1 minute 1.93 seconds in the 500m in Stockholm), was second behind Polands European outdoor champion Adam Kszczot in the 800m at the Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix and picked up a fourth 800m Irish indoor title. English has already secured the Olympic qualifying time for the 800m and will now rest for the start of the outdoor season with Rio less than five months away.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS...MARCH 19: Sam Oldham, English Championships, LoughboroughMar 28 - April 3: Jessica Judd, pre-season training in USAApril 9/10: Sam Oldham, British Championships, Liverpool Also See: English bows out in style About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries Puma Outlet Store Australia .

RENTON, Wash. --?Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was asked Thursday if he had a theory about why the NFL is experiencing declining TV ratings.Because the league isnt fun anymore, Sherman said. Every other league, you see the players have a good time. Its a game. This isnt politics. This isnt justice. This is entertainment. And theyre no longer allowing the players to entertain. Theyre no longer allowing the players to show any kind of personality, any kind of uniqueness, any individuality. Because they want to control the product. They want to control the messaging, etc., etc.They say were trying to influence kids, and thats their biggest thing. Thats their biggest ploy is you dont want to be a bad influence to kids. You dont want to be a bad role model. And I can agree with that. But in the same breath, you cant say Budweiser is the official sponsor of the NFL, and were trying to influence kids. So theres a ton of hypocrisy, but it doesnt matter because we dont control it.Sherman once again took aim at commissioner Roger Goodell and his role in making the game less fun. Sherman said the league has not reached out to him in the past when he has criticized Goodell, but the cornerback has heard from his peers.ddddddddddddMore just players understanding that its the truth and applauding me and saying they wouldnt have said it, but they respect that I said it, Sherman said. ... Its the truth. He hasnt done a great job, and its obvious. For us to say he hasnt done a great job is beating a dead horse honestly.Sherman has sounded off multiple times this season on the difficulty of playing defense, given the leagues current set of rules.On the topic of protecting quarterbacks, Sherman said the NFLs stance has nothing to do with player safety.No, I dont buy it, he said. Thats for public perception. They dont care about player safety. Ive said that several times. But they do care about paying the quarterback $20 million and him missing a season. They do care about that.So whether they say player safety or whatever it is, theyre tired of $20 million quarterbacks sitting on the bench or IR for the whole season, so theyre going to do whatever they can to protect their investments, and thats universal.
