If youre on social media, or listening to certain athletes starting on Monday you will see and hear something rare; professional athletes claiming to be bullies. Why, in a day and age such as ours when bullying has become such a disturbing and prevalent issue among young people, would anyone claim to be a bully? The objective is to turn heads while at the same time reframe the conversation. Its a good thing that anyone can find the explanation at #ImOnlyABully or Hurtnomorehq.com otherwise there might be a public uproar; especially for an anti-bullying organization such as Hurt No More. The goal is to raise awareness, and get athletes to make a commitment to leave aggression and physicality out of schools out and everyday life; except during those allotted times on the field, or ice, or court. THE PROBLEM It is estimated that up to 350,000 kids and teens stay home from school each day because they are bullied. That number is truly unacceptable, and something needs to change. Mixed Martial Arts has its roots in one of the most beautiful practices on earth. Ive been in love with traditional Martial Arts since I was a kid. Watching Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan made me dream of being a ninja. So I went ahead and began a quest to learn the Martial Arts. I started in Tae Kwon Do, and quickly learned discipline and respect. That tradition is truly at the root of all MMA training, and we want to reinforce that with kids. We teach fighting, physicality, and submission techniques for use only in a cage. Football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball (pretty much every sport) are all the same. That desire to win, and be better than your opponent ends at the final whistle. We play and compete by the rules. That mentality and the goal to encourage safe environments at school is the heartbeat of Hurt No More. Once professional athletes listen to Peter Karl Youngren talk about his vision and The Code for Hurt No More, they are drawn to get involved. The hope is that this message of empathy and kindness spreads. Be as competitive as you want as long as you play within the rules on the field, the ice or in the cage. The only request is that you leave it on the field. Lets take back our schools with kindness and teaching kids empathy. You can play, and play hard. But its time to make sure everyone is taken care of once we leave our sport behind. Watch for top MMA talent, as well as talent in all sports to be using the hashtag on all their social media channels. Join the discussions, get involved, and show your solidarity with a T-Shirt purchase to support the Hurt No More campaign. www.hurtnomorehq.com/onthefield Follow the whole movement on Twitter @HNMKids Visit Hurt No Mores YouTube Page Rashaan Gaulden Jersey .

Ramirez is still hitting behind Puig, only now they are in the third and fourth spots, and the change is starting to generate positive results for manager Don Mattingly. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins got a lot of help in snapping a skid against the New York Yankees. Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli made a throwing error in the 11th inning that allowed Josh Willingham to score from second base, giving Minnesota a 2-1 victory on Saturday. With the bases loaded, Trevor Plouffe hit a dribbler to reliever Matt Thornton (1-1). The left-hander flipped it to Cervelli for the forceout at home. Cervelli then tried for the double play but his throw sailed way over the head of first baseman Mark Teixeira and Willingham raced home with the winning run. "Well take a win any way we can," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, who was ejected in third inning after arguing from the dugout. "They had to make a play and threw it away." Cervelli wished he would have held onto the ball because Plouffe was blocking his throwing lane to first. "Its bad. We dont want to end the game like that, especially myself," he said. "Next time Ive got to make a little clear, talking about my vision to first base. If I dont have it, I have to just eat the ball." Pinch-hitter Chris Colabello doubled off the right field wall to lead off the 11th, missing a game-ending homer by inches. The victory snapped a seven-game home skid against the Yankees and was just Minnesotas fourth win against New York in 17 games at Target Field. Brian Duensing (2-2) pitched around a Carlos Beltran single in the 11th. Yankees starter David Phelps had retired 11 straight before Willingham snapped an 0-for-14 skid with a homer to left that tied the game at 1 in the seventh inning. Before Willinghams drive, Phelps had only allowed one baserunner to reach second base. In addition to his home run, Willingham also saw the whacky final play unfold as he ran from second to third, and, eventually, home. To him, a win is a win for the struggling Twins. "Theyre all pretty,&quuot; he said.dddddddddddd "That play is typically not one to end a game on, but today it was good enough to get us a win, I guess." Ichiro Suzuki stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch with two outs in the fifth before coming home on Cervellis single to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Yohan Pino held the Yankees to one run over six innings, but Minnesota couldnt put together enough offence to give the soft-tossing 30-year-old rookie his first win. After both starters turned in strong outings, two of baseballs hottest bullpens took over. Coming into Saturday, Minnesotas relievers had a 1.78 ERA in their last 18 games while New Yorks pen had a 1.66 ERA in their last eight. Five Twins relievers held the Yankees to three hits over five innings of relief. The winning run charged to Thornton was unearned. Even though he pitched well, Phelps was mad at himself for even letting the game be decided by the bullpen or a crazy play at the end. "Were out there grinding and theres going to be games where we dont score a lot of runs," he said. "Thats why its frustrating for me to go out and give up a leadoff home run in the seventh. Just put up a zero there and we can put that game away with our bullpen." Cervelli was a late addition to the lineup after regular catcher Brian McCann was scratched with a sore foot. NOTES: Despite the fact that Derek Jeter has helped knock Minnesota out of the playoffs four times, Twins fans gave the retiring Yankees shortstop a standing ovation during a pregame ceremony. The Twins presented Jeter with the second base bag used during the final game played at the Metrodome. ... X-rays on McCanns sore left foot were negative. ...
