Veteran spinner Brad Hogg has left the Perth Scorchers and at 45 will start afresh with a different Big Bash League club, believed to be the Melbourne Renegades. No official announcement has been forthcoming from the Renegades, but Scorchers coach Justin Langer confirmed on Friday that Hogg was leaving the Scorchers.Hogg, a cult figure with the Scorchers since coming out of retirement to play with them from the start of the 2011-12 season, has been their leading wicket taker with 46 wickets at 21.82. Only Ben Laughlin (60 wickets for Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes) has more BBL wickets, although Hogg had a leaner campaign last year, with just six wickets in nine games.Very disappointing, Langer told reporters in Perth on Friday of Hoggs departure. I know [where hes going], but I cant tell you where hes going. But hes leaving the Scorchers. Im really disappointed about that. What can I say? Im personally disappointed, professionally disappointed, but its his decision and life goes on.In my opinion hes made a wrong decision, thats okay, thats not my business. But I can go to bed at night knowing we offered him more money than we offered him last year, we think weve had as good deal with him for the last few years and it could have been a real win-win situation for him and us.But we wish him the best, weve been friends since we went to school together. I think hes been brilliant for the Scorchers. I think on and off the field he is fantastic, hes a good friend of mine but its disappointing.Hogg originally retired from all cricket in 2008, but made a comeback when the BBL started in 2011. He helped the Scorchers to back-to-back titles in 2013-14 and 2014-15, and unexpectedly returned to Australias T20 side in 2014, becoming their oldest T20 international player at 43. This year, at 45, he became the oldest man ever to play in the IPL. Fake Vapormax For Sale . U.S. District Judge Lorna G.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernick was encouraged that President Barack Obama recently weighed in on his national anthem protest by praising him for generating conversation about social issues.Obama said Monday that he had no doubt that the San Francisco 49ers quarterback is sincere and cares about some real, legitimate issues. He also said approvingly that Kaepernick has generated more national conversation about issues that need to be talked about since his refusal to stand for the anthem became public less than two weeks ago.Hes someone who also realizes theres many issues that need to be addressed and need changing in this country, Kaepernick said Wednesday. I think a lot of the initial shock of what the protest was about and the kind of significance of that was lost in the action and the message wasnt really addressed. I think that was great that he came out and supported the message that we do need to make changes in these areas.Kaepernick did not stand for the national anthem all preseason and his protest became public after he sat before a home game against Green Bay on Aug. 26. Kaepernick has cited racial injustice and police brutality among the many reasons for his actions and said he plans to continue to not stand for the anthem during the regular season.Kaepernick kneeled during the anthem last Thursday in San Diego with teammate Eric Reid in a move meant to show more respect to some military members who had been critical of the protest. Seattle defensive back Jeremy Lane also joined in by sitting before his teams game in Oakland last week. Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin said Wednesday that he is considering joining the protest as well but wants to get all my ducks in a row before I do so.I think its something where theres a lot of players that really feel the same way, Kaepernick said. Theyre just nervous about consequences that come along with it. A lot of them have families to feed. I think thats a tragic situation where players arent comfortable speaking whats really on their mind and whats right because theyre afraid of consequences that come along with it.Kaepernick plans to continue the protest when the regular season starts next Monday against the Los Angeles Rams. He said he would refuse to stand for the anthem even if the Niners openeed the season like most teams on Sunday, which is the 15th anniversary of the Sept.dddddddddddd11 attacks.Once again, this isnt a protest against men and women in the military. I have great respect for them, Kaepernick said. People are getting lost in what the true message is, and dont want to address what it really is and address those issues. And thats really the problem. I wish people would be as outraged about the murders that are happening in the street as they are about a protest.Earlier Wednesday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he disagrees with Kaepernicks choice to kneel during the anthem but recognizes the quarterbacks right to protest.I support our players when they want to see change in society, and we dont live in a perfect society, Goodell said in an email to the AP. On the other hand, we believe very strongly in patriotism in the NFL. I personally believe very strongly in that.Kaepernick said last week that he planned to donate $1 million from his salary to groups supporting his cause and announced Wednesday that he will donate proceeds from his jersey sales to charity to thank fans for their support. Sales of Kaepernicks jersey have skyrocketed since his protest became public.The jersey sales jumped because of peoples belief that there can be change, he said. And we can make this country better, and that they believe I was someone who could help that change.In football news, Kaepernick said he is getting stronger each day after missing the offseason program following three operations and sitting out two weeks in training camp with a tired throwing shoulder.That lack of practice time contributed to Blaine Gabbert winning the starting quarterback job for the 49ers. Kaepernick will open the season as a backup for the first time since 2012. He replaced the injured Alex Smith as starter later that season and led San Francisco to the Super Bowl.I have to wait my time and work, he said. Ive been in this position before. Last time I was in this position I ended up in the Super Bowl. So I continue to work and prepare for when that next opportunity comes.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
