The Santa Clara police union has sent a letter to the San Francisco 49ers, warning that police might stop working the teams home games due to Colin Kaepernicks statements on police brutality and his wearing of socks during a practice that showed cartoon pigs dressed as police officers.The letter, obtained by NBC Bay Area, states that if the 49ers do not discipline Kaepernick, it could result in police officers choosing not to work at your facilities.The letter also states that the Santa Clara Police Officers Association has a duty to protect its members and work to make all of their working environments free of harassing behavior.It criticizes what it called anti-police statements made by Kaepernick, calling them insulting, inaccurate and completely unsupported by any facts.In another statement released Saturday, Chief Michael Sellers of the SCPOA said law enforcement officials have been saddened and angered by Kaepernicks stance, but plan to continue to do their jobs.[Kaepernicks] blanket statements disparaging the law enforcement profession are hurtful and do not help bring the country together, Saturdays statement said. As distasteful as his actions are, these actions are protected by the Constitution. Police officers are here to protect the rights of every person, even if we disagree with their position. Police officers have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution.I will urge the POA leadership to put the safety of our citizens first, Sellers said in the statement. I will work with both sides to find a solution. In the meantime, I will ensure we continue to provide a safe environment at Levis Stadium.The 49ers reiterated Friday night that they stand behind Kaepernick and respect his right not to participate in celebrating the national anthem.Kaepernick has become the focus of intense scrutiny for not standing during the playing of the national anthem in the 49ers last two preseason games as a form of protesting racial injustice in the United States.He also received criticism from the head of a national police association after he appeared on the 49ers practice field wearing the socks.Kaepernick vowed to continue to not stand during the national anthem until he is satisfied with the changes made toward ending racial oppression in the U.S., a position he reiterated after Thursdays game against the San Diego Chargers.Once again, Im not anti-American, Kaepernick said. I love America. I love people. Thats why Im doing this. I want to help make America better. I think having these conversations helps everybody have a better understanding of where everybody is coming from.Kaepernick also said Thursday that he plans to donate $1 million to organizations that will help communities in need.The 49ers had previously released a statement on Kaepernicks actions, saying, In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose to participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem.Kaepernick is expected to discuss his actions on Sunday at a San Francisco church known for its activism on civil rights causes.About 70 Santa Clara police officers work each 49ers game at Levis Stadium, according to NBC Bay Area.The union letter says Kaepernicks protest has threatened our harmonious working relationship with the 49ers.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

LONDON -- Two-time Olympic silver medalist Louis Smith apologized Monday for a video in which he and a fellow gymnast appear to mock Islam.Smith and Luke Carson are shown in a leaked video laughing and pretending to pray while shouting Allahu Akbar, or Arabic for God is greatest.I am deeply sorry for the recent video you may have seen, Smith said in a statement posted on Twitter. I recognize the severity of my mistake and hope it can be used as an example of how important it is to respect others at all times. I have learnt a valuable life lesson and I wholeheartedly apologize.A British tabloid published a clip from the video that was taken at a hotel wedding reception.Smith, 27, won silver medals in the pommel horse at the 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. He also won bronze in the pommel horse at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a team bronze in London.Carson, who has competed for Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games and other international events, retired last year because of injuries. He also reportedly apologized.Britains nationaal gymnastics federation said it would investigate the incident, with Smith and Carson both facing possible sanctions.ddddddddddddBritish Gymnastics does not condone the mocking of any faith or religion and is appalled by such behaviors, the federation said. Members who break our code of conduct can face suspension or expulsion from our organization.The Muslim Council of Britain welcomed the federations move.This behavior by leading and decorated sportspeople is sadly a confirmation of how Islamophobia has become acceptable. It is therefore heartening that British Gymnastics has resolved to take swift and decisive action, said Dr. Omer El-Hamdoon, the Muslim councils deputy secretary general.The supposed apology that has been issued by the two men falls well short of addressing the hurt caused against Muslims, he added. We hope they reflect upon their actions and realize the need for people to follow their faith with dignity. ' ' '
