SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Following through on a promise he made at the beginning of the season, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick?has revealed details of how and where the $1 million he pledged is being distributed.Kaepernick took to Instagram on Friday to unveil what he is calling the Million Dollar Pledge.After deciding to kneel during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality and oppression during the preseason, Kaepernick said he would take action by donating the first $1 million he makes this season to organizations that would help the cause. He also said he would give the proceeds from his jersey sales to those organizations.On Sept. 21, Kaepernick said that donation would come in $100,000 increments and that he would be establishing a website so the public could track the progress and distribution of that money.Kaepernicks Instagram announcement says the Million Dollar Pledge is now in its second month and directed people to check out that now-established website, www.Kaepernick7.com. He finished the Instagram post with a quote attributed to Malcolm X reading, I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, theyll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.Kaepernicks website provides details on the organizations to which Kaepernick has given money, along with specific donation amounts. In October, Kaepernick gave $25,000 to two organizations in San Jose and one each in Milwaukee and Dallas. For November, Kaepernicks site shows donations of that same amount to two organizations in New York City, one in Milwaukee and one in Chicago.The website also includes information about the Know Your Rights Camp Kaepernick held over the bye week in Oakland, and declares that the mission of Kaepernicks foundation is to fight oppression of all kinds globally, through education and social activism.Kaepernick had previously wanted to wait to reveal details and plans for his donations because he wanted to be certain the money was going to the right places and would be put toward the goals he wants to achieve.Thats part of the reason we are being very careful and very meticulous with what were doing to make sure that the organizations that we are working with are grassroots and the money is going to the communities that we want it to go to and helping the people that we want it to help, Kaepernick said in September. Because theres a lot of foundations and organizations where a fraction of the money that you donate goes to what the actual cause is and a lot of it is spent on company expenses or whatever you want to call it. Thats part of what we want to make sure we are not allowing to happen when making donations. O. J. Simpson Jersey .

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round. PITTSBURGH -- Two teams searching for consistency collide Thursday when the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Dallas Stars at PPG Paints Arena.The Penguins (13-7-3) finished 7-5-2 in November with a 5-3 road loss Wednesday against the New York Islanders during which they squandered a three-goal comeback following two scoreless periods.Weve got to bury our chances, Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby said.Its not just the lack of 60-minute efforts at times such as against the Islanders, or a fluctuation between wins and losses that makes Pittsburgh inconsistent -- after all, the Penguins overall are winning more than losing. It has been, at times, wild swings between dominant games that might be expected from the defending Stanley Cup champions who returned their club nearly intact, and games in which they seem discombobulated and even disinterested and have let opponents set the pace and tone.Its hard for me to try to explain it, Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said last week. If I could, I could probably solve it.The Stars, meanwhile, are chugging along at .500 (9-9-6) but have lost two in a row and three of four as they hit the third contest of a four-game road trip.Its tough for us to string some wins together, but its not the time to point fingers. Its not the time to get negative, Patrick Sharp told the Dallas Morning News. Now is the time to come together and dig deep and find a way to win.In addition to overtime losses piling up, Dallas is struggling to solidify a lineup on defense. With eight defensemen -- nine when Johnny Oduya returns from a lower-body injury -- coach Lindy Ruff has been sitting out different players nearly every game.Dan Hamhuis and Stephen Johns played Tuesday after being scratched a game earlier while John Klingbergg and Patrik Nemeth sat, and Ruff liked the performance of his defense despite a 3-1 loss at Detroit, but still isnt set on a defensive lineup.dddddddddddd He said he would re-evaluate before deciding which six defensemen will play against Pittsburgh.The Stars met but did not skate Wednesday. Ruff, contrary to Sharps assessment, decided it was time to point fingers -- at himself.I have to do a better job, Ruff told the Morning News. I have to hold them more accountable. Ive let too many guys off the hook.It seems likely that Dallas will go with goaltender Antti Niemi in net. Pittsburghs Marc-Andre Fleury probably will start after Matt Murray played Wednesday.Fleury started well but has struggled since Murray returned from a broken hand, with no wins in his past five starts. On the season, Fleury is 6-5-3 with a 3.38 goals-against average and .901 save percentage. There is widespread belief that the Penguins have played better in front of Murray than in front of Fleury.I dont think his record, the way it is, it all falls on his shoulders, Sullivan said. Its a collective effort on both sides, both when we win and when we lose. Marc has fallen victim of some tough bounces. Hes just got to continue to work through it and keep working on his game.Despite some consistency issues for both clubs, the game matches two of the leagues best offensive talents.Dallas Tyler Seguin has 24 points, ranking him fourth in the NHL, although his minus-9 rating is the worst of anyone among the top 50 in scoring.Crosby leads the NHL with 15 goals in only 17 games after missing the start of the season because of a concussion.
