JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles understands why fans were booing during Sundays 33-16 loss to Oakland at EverBank Field. He said he learned long ago that fans like winning more than they like the players.If a team loses for a while, I bet everybodys probably pretty frustrated, Bortles said. I was fortunate enough to figure out at a young age that fans dont like players. They like winning. ... You know that theyre going to cheer for you when youre winning, and want you to sign autographs and take pictures. And when youre losing, theyre going to boo you.Thats the world we live in and thats what fans do. Its irrelevant to anything that goes on in this building.The Jaguars are 2-4 after the loss to the Raiders and just 14-40 in three-plus seasons under coach Gus Bradley. The team hasnt had a winning season since 2007.There was an outcry on social media among Jaguars fans Tuesday because of comments made by wide receiver Allen Robinson, who was asked?what he thinks when he hears that some people want the Jaguars to bench Bortles.Robinson told ESPN on Monday that the Jaguars have a better home-field advantage during their annual game in Londons Wembley Stadium.When you hear the atmosphere of when we step out on the field, when we go to punt or before halftime when Blake takes a knee and you hear the booing, its kind of funny to me, Robinson told ESPN. Its funny that we get our best home-field advantage when we go to Wembley.Bortles has followed his breakout season of 2015 with nine touchdown passes and 11 turnovers (nine interceptions) through six games this year. But Robinson said Bortles isnt the only player struggling. Hes struggling, too, with just 26 catches for 296 yards and three touchdowns.People from the outside are going to make their opinions, Robinson said. Again, as an offense were struggling. Not just Blake struggling. Not just I am struggling. As a whole, were struggling. This is a team thing. At the end of that, people are going to say what they want to say.Fixing the offense -- which ranks 30th in rushing, last in third-down conversions and 24th in scoring -- would be a good first step in eliminating the boos.When it comes down to it, nobodys trying to make a mistake, Bortles said. Nobodys trying to hold. Nobodys trying to throw an interception. I dont really know how else to put it other than we have to do better. I think at every position weve got to play better [and] find a way to play better.One thing that is good about it is we have [played better]. Weve seen it before. Weve done it this season. We did it last year. We have the ability and the right guys in the locker room to be successful and be a good powerful offense. Weve just got to find it. Cheap Air Jordan 6 Free Shipping .

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Its been nearly 90 years since Haiti earned a medal at the Olympic Games. But swimmer Frantz Mike Itelord Dorsainvil is aiming to break that dry spell.The lanky 25-year-old swimmer who only began to swim competitively six years ago is arguably the most unlikely Olympian on Haitis small team. But he doesnt lack for confidence.I will be giving all my effort to make sure I bring back a medal for my homeland, Dorsainvil said after a recent day of training.The swimmer, who has never lived abroad -- unlike many athletes who typically represent the impoverished Caribbean country -- trains in an 18-meter long pool. An Olympic-sized pool is 50 meters.I have to do six laps just to make 100 meters. I go back and forth, back and forth, he laughed during a phone interview from the pool in Carrefour on the outskirts of the capital Port-au-Prince.ddddddddddddSwimming barely exists as a sport in Haiti, where there are few pools. Many Haitians, even some who fish for a living, never learn how to swim.Dorsainvil is hoping to change all that.He says hes hopeful that the sport will take off in his Caribbean homeland if he and his teammate, 19-year-old Haitian-American Naomy GrandPierre, are able to win a medal. GrandPierre is a student at the University of Chicago and will be Haitis first Olympic female swimmer.I hope we can help make swimming popular here. Its disappointing that so many Haitian people are not able to swim, Dorsainvil said. ' ' '
