A North Carolina radio station is dropping the broadcast of East Carolinas upcoming football game after 19 members of the schools marching band kneeled during the national anthem last weekend to protest racial injustice and police brutality, a station official said Tuesday.WFAY-AM in Fayetteville, part of the Colonial Radio Group, announced Tuesday that it would not carry the Pirates game at South Florida scheduled for Saturday. It will carry Pirates games in the future, however, said Colonial Radio Group President and CEO Jeff Andrulonis.An official of the Pirate IMG Radio Network didnt immediately return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.The East Carolina band members who took a knee before the Central Florida game last weekend were following the lead of several NFL players, beginning with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who refused to stand for the anthem before preseason games.Band director William Staub, School of Music director Christopher Ulffers and College of Fine Arts and Communication dean Christopher Buddo issued a joint statement Monday saying they regret the actions.Andrulonis said he believes the students absolutely have the right to protest, but added that the appropriate way for them to do that would have been to protest before the game, not show up to the game.But once they don that uniform, they have a duty, they have an obligation to play and to be part of the bands performance, he said.Andrulonis says while his is a small station in a small market, the market includes Fort Bragg, and he believes it is important to stand for the national anthem to show respect for the military. He said his sponsors agree with the stations move, but that it will cost him in the thousands of dollars in lost advertising revenue.Instead of the Pirates game this weekend, the station will simulcast the Duke-Army game with a sister station.Band members and fans from other schools have also participated in recent protests. On Sept. 24, some fans in the student section at the Pittsburgh-North Carolina game in Chapel Hill raised their fists and remained seated in protest during the playing of the national anthem. A diverse group of roughly 100 students wearing black shirts participated, as well as at least two UNC marching band members who took a knee -- one while raising a fist.At last weekends Wake Forest-N.C. State game in Raleigh, two members of the Wolfpack marching band took a knee during the anthem and didnt play their instruments. Richie Allen Jersey .

Cliff Lee Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jason Vargas kept throwing strikes and catcher Chris Iannetta kept taking his walks -- a winning formula for the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Vargas scattered four hits through seven scoreless innings, Erick Aybar and Howie Kendrick each hit two-run doubles, and the Los Angeles Angels coaxed a pair of bases-loaded walks out of Jake Peavy in the fourth inning of a 6-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Vargas (3-3) struck out six and walked three while helping the Angels gain a split of the four-game series. The middle of the Chicago lineup -- Alex Rios, Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko -- were a combined 0 for 8 with a walk against the left-hander, who posted his first victory in six career starts against the White Sox. "When youve got three guys like that in a lineup, the biggest key is just to try and keep guys off base when they come up to the plate because it limits the damage that theyre able to do," Vargas said. "When you can do that, you have more confidence in what you can go about doing with them, and theres more room for error." Peavy (5-2) gave up four runs, four hits and five walks over six innings after going 4-0 with a 2.10 ERA in his previous five starts. The 2007 NL Cy Young winner is 0-4 with a 6.06 ERA in six career starts against the Angels. "I felt really good today, and thats the most frustrating part for me," Peavy said. "I went out there with a good game plan and felt like we could execute, but I just didnt quite execute well enough. My slider was the best its been all year, so Ive got some positives to take out of it. Its just hard to be positive right now." Los Angeles opened the scoring in the third when Iannetta drew a leadoff walk, J.B. Shuck followed with a single and Aybar drove both of them in with his double to right before he was erased in a rundown. "Obviously the walks are going to kill you, especially leading off an inning. Theres no excuse for that," Peavy said. "I have all the respect in the world for Chris Iannetta. Hes got a great eye, theres no doubt about it. But good eye or nothing, Ive got to throw the ball where he has to swing the bat." Peavy, who threw 83 of his 117 pitches in the first four innings, walked four more batters in the fourth -- including Iannetta and Aybar with the bases loaded -- and the Angels increased the margin to 4-0. Two innings laater, Peavy struck out the side on 18 pitches.dddddddddddd Iannettas second walk was his 14th in a span of 33 plate appearances, including four on Saturday. He has 27 overall, just two fewer than he had last season in 221 plate appearances. His career high is 70, with Colorado in 2011. "Hes walking a lot," manager Mike Scioscia said. "I mean, if you look at Chris history, theres no doubt the walk is in his game. Even when he was going through that little rough spot earlier in the season, he still drew some walks. I think its great plate discipline, especially when youre not swinging the bat that well." Rios drove in Chicagos first run with an eighth-inning double against Dane De La Rosa. It extended his hitting streak to 14 games, eclipsing his previous best in 2006 with Toronto. Ernesto Frieri was called in to protect a 4-1 lead, trying to get his second four-out save in two days after giving up a three-run homer in the eighth against Hector Gimenez on Saturday before closing that one out. The right-hander walked three batters in the ninth this time before notching his ninth save in 10 attempts overall. Frieri gave up a sacrifice fly by Alejandro De Aza before retiring Alexei Ramirez on a flyball to end it. Kendrick gave Frieri a couple of insurance runs in the eighth with his double inside third base against rookie Brian Omogrosso. NOTES: Peavy had issued eight walks in 45 2-3 innings over his seven previous starts this season. The three-time All-Star, who led the NL in strikeouts in 2005 and 2007 with San Diego, got the 1,800th of his career in the first inning when he caught Mike Trout looking. ... INF Chris Nelson was added to the Angels 25-man roster, one day after he was claimed off waivers from the New York Yankees. They are the third team hes been with this season, including Colorado. ... The Angels optioned 3B Luis Jimenez to Triple-A Salt Lake, and sent outright RHP Barry Enright to Salt Lake after he cleared waivers. Enright had been designated for assignment on May 16, one day after giving up four runs in two-plus innings against Kansas City in a 9-5 loss. ... Dunn returned to the lineup as the designated hitter, after leaving Saturdays game in the fifth inning because of back spasms. He finished 0 for 3 with three strikeouts and a walk. ...
