INDIANAPOLIS -- The wife of former Colts cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who was released Oct. 4, is accusing the team of letting her husband go for taking a knee during the national anthem.Terricka Cromartie wrote an Instagram post after seeing comments from Colts owner Jim Irsay saying football stadiums are the wrong venue for players to be kneeling during the national anthem to show their displeasure in police brutality and racial oppression. The post was later taken down, but it stated what she thinks the attitude of the team toward players:You are Nothing More than an Entertainer. Just Shut and do what we say. You have No rights as along as you are working for me.. there are other places for you to fight and stand for what you believe, the post said.The post added: One things for sure I know my husband was told Not to take a Knee and he went with his heart and he took one. And that cost him his Job.. and Clearly this Statement backs that up... Just a Paid To put on a show.Irsay was asked about players kneeling during the anthem while at the NFL owners meetings in Houston earlier this week.It hasnt been a positive thing, Irsay told reporters. What we all have to be aware of as players, owners, PR people, equipment managers, is when the lights go on we are entertainment. We are being paid to put on a show. There are other places to express yourself.Cromartie also posted to Instagram, and although he didnt mention his release, he appeared to take issue with Irsays comments.The Colts referred to coach Chuck Paganos statement on Oct. 5 when asked about Cromarties wifes comments. Pagano, addressing the cornerbacks release a day earlier, referred to it as a football decision.Ive said it before and I will say it again, every decision that we make as far as our roster goes and this team goes, is based on two things -- what is best for this team and what gives us the best chance to win, Pagano said.Cromartie became the only Colts player to take a knee when he did it during the anthem before the Sept. 25 game against the San Diego Chargers. He did it again the following week when the Colts played the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.Cromartie, a four-time Pro Bowler, had played so poorly against the Jaguars in the first half that he was benched in the second half.The Colts were in position to release Cromartie at the time because they were getting healthy in the secondary. Cornerback Darius Butler was returning from a hamstring injury, which meant the Colts would have their top three cornerbacks -- Vontae Davis, Butler and Patrick Robinson -- back in the lineup.Theres a chance Cromartie would have been inactive for some games because the team likes Rashaan Melvin as its fourth cornerback.Colts tight end Dwayne Allen has consistently taken a knee toward the end of the national anthem throughout his career. He?explained in a video released through the team?Tuesday that he does so not as a protest, but to say a prayer for every man that steps on the field. On Wednesday, he discussed the backlash he has received?from some fans that have sent him hateful messages because they misinterpreted his actions. Ketel Marte Jersey .

OXON HILL, Md. -- Carlos Gomez is staying with the Texas Rangers.The outfielder agreed to an $11.5 million, one-year contract, a deal subject to a successful physical.Many of the objectives of the Rangers for Carlos go beyond one year, his agent, Scott Boras, said Wednesday. Certainly Carlos really enjoyed the team and the environment and feels hes got a great chance to win. So I think both parties objectives were met by that deal.Gomez, who turned 31 last weekend, figures to play center as general manager Jon Daniels structured an outfield that includes Shin-Soo Choo in right and Nomar Mazara in left. Ian Desmond left Wednesday for a $70 million, five-year deal with Colorado.Gomez batted just .210 witth five homers in 85 games this year for Houston and was released by the Astros in August.dddddddddddd He signed with Texas and hit .284 with eight homers and 24 RBI in 33 games. An All-Star in 2013 and 14 with Milwaukee, Gomez has a .257 average and 116 home runs in 10 big league seasons.J.D. was very clear from the onset about them wanting Carlos back, and weve had communication since the seasons end to pursue that, Boras said. So it was something in our minds and in their minds. It was just a constant dialogue.---AP Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed to this report. ' ' '
