WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg apologized Friday for characterizing as dumb and disrespectful the national anthem protests by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other athletes.The 83-year-old Ginsburg said her remarks about Kaepernick and others who have refused to stand for the anthem were inappropriately harsh and dismissive. In a statement released by the court, she said she was barely aware of the protests or their purpose.I should have declined to respond, she said of the question posed during an interview that was posted on Yahoo on Monday.Its the second time in recent months that Ginsburg has apologized for public comments. She said her comments criticizing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in July were ill advised.The latest controversy arose after Ginsburg commented on Kaepernicks refusal to stand for the anthem, a stance since adopted by other football players and athletes in other sports. She said the athletes have the right to protest, if they want to be stupid.Kaepernick had a measured response to Ginsburgs initial comments.It is disappointing to hear a Supreme Court justice call a protest against injustices and oppression `stupid, dumb in reference to players doing that, Kaepernick said, according to The San Jose Mercury News.

Robbie Grossman drove in a run and scored during a three-run fifth for the major league-worst Astros (40-81), who have won three of four for the first time since June 18. Peacock (2-4) earned his first victory since April 10 after two hard-luck losses following his return to the rotation. The rookie yielded four hits and two unearned runs, striking out five. Hank Conger drove in a run during his first multihit game since June 30 for the foundering Angels. Theyve lost 15 of 21, including five straight at home. Grant Green got the first run-scoring hit of his major league career for the Angels, but Jerome Williams (5-9) extended his skid to 11 straight winless starts to open this matchup of the AL Wests bottom two teams. After a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a run-scoring single in the seventh, Carter connected for his 23rd homer in the ninth. Matt Dominguez followed with a solo shot off Joe Blanton for the Astros fourth back-to-back homers this season. That was more than enough to protect a win for Peacock, who has allowed four earned runs in 19 1-3 innings over three starts since returning from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Jose Altuve and Castro then drew walks during difficult plate appearances, with Castro forcing in a run on Williams 99th pitch. After Carter singled home Brett Wallace in the seventh for Houston, the Angels chased Peacock with three straight hits, including Greens RBI single with one out.
