NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A trio of Tennessee Titans say they raised their right fists in the air after the national anthem ended to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11, and to bring attention to the ongoing unequal treatment of African-Americans and other minorities.Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey, cornerback Jason McCourty and linebacker Wesley Woodyard all had hands over their hearts during the anthem before Sundays season opener against Minnesota. Seconds after the anthem ended, they raised their arms into the air in solidarity with protests around the league even though their gesture went unnoticed until Monday after a Sports Illustrated photo started circulating.McCourty said Monday that they want to help bridge a gap in equality for everyone, specifically African-Americans.I dont want it to be taken as something that was us trying to separate people, McCourty said. It was more trying to bring everyone together in solidarity trying to come up with a situation to better our country. We love it, but that doesnt mean that we dont have room for improvement.San Francisco backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick was the first NFL player who chose to sit and take a knee during the anthem in preseason games to call attention to what he says is the oppression of blacks and other minorities.U.S. sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos, who won the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter race at the 1968 Olympics appeared on the medal stands with raised, black-gloved fists throughout the U.S. national anthem in what they said was a human rights salute.On Sunday, Kansas City cornerback Marcus Peters also raised a black-gloved fist during the national anthem, and four Miami Dolphins kneeled on the sideline with hands on their hearts as The Star Spangled Banner played in Seattle. McCourtys brother, Devin, raised his fist along Martellus Bennett before New Englands win in Arizona on Sunday night.McCourty, a New York native who was in the ninth grade in New Jersey on 9/11, said theres been a lot of talk among NFL players about the different ways to get their message across. His older brother served in the Gulf War, and his father also was in the military. So they chose to respect the anthem first, and McCourty said Monday the hope is these protests get people talking about how to solve the issues Kaepernick highlighted.Now moving forward, its about getting in our communities and trying actually to make change and try to actually make an impact, McCourty said. A single action on a Sunday isnt going to do anything, so I think now its, what you do in the community throughout the weeks and throughout the next several months.Casey said it was a last-minute decision, and he personally credited God for helping him believe it was the right thing to do.Im just trying to echo what Kaepernick is doing ..., Casey said. Were just trying to bring light on it. We want fairness, and we want justice for whats going on around the world with all the bad things that are going on. Thats all this is about.Woodyard, also a special teams captain, said theres no wrong or right way to protest.Were just trying to show our right that were standing for our brothers out there, and we are, Woodyard said.The trio also have the support and respect of coach Mike Mularkey, who noted they are leaders on this team.I know theyre passionate about the cause, and so Im supportive of them, Mularkey said.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

As Dutee Chand and Caster Semenya warmed up on the same patch of the field in Rio on Saturday evening, there was more than just shared hope. The two athletes - one a sprinter, one a middle-distance runner - lie at the heart of sports gender debate.The meeting was one Dutee had been hoping for and one thats left her moved. After my 100m event on Saturday, when I went to the ground in the evening to warm up I saw Caster warming up too and walked up to her and introduced myself, Dutee told ESPN from Rio, adding that her limited English kept the conversation short. She was very warm and asked me about my training and whether my event was over. I also enquired about her event, we clicked a selfie and wished each other the best. I really liked her attitude.This photo is everything. Tears of joy! Dutee and Caster! pic.twitter.com/qPamidKnJa- Katrina Karkazis (@Karkazis) 15 August 2016It was great meeting Caster. She was so friendly. It was almost like speaking to a school mate, a childhood friend. Dutee couldnt qualify for the womens 100m semifinals but Semenya is tipped to win gold in the womens 800m event on Wednesday. In fact, ahead of the Olympics, Dutee had listed a meeting with Semenya high up on her wwish list before conceding that it would possibly stir a lot of curiosity, I would love to meet her and hopefully have someone convey my thoughts to her since language could act as a barrier, shed told ESPN.ddddddddddddMore than questions, I think people will be curious to know who among the two of us is stronger.Semenya was subjected to a gender test following her 2009 World Championship win, but then went on to win silver at the London Olympics. Dutee was pulled out of the 2014 Commonwealth Games contingent at the last minute, subjected to a gender test and banned from competing, before being cleared in 2015 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The CAS ruled that the level of natural testosterone in an athletes body is insufficient basis to bar a female athlete from competing, but the athletes know the relief could well be fleeting. The CAS has allowed the international athletics body a two-year window to prove the scientific veracity of the hyderandrogenism regulation, following which there could be a definitive decision over what the future holds for Dutee and Caster.
