LOS ANGELES -- The lawyer for an ex-girlfriend accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two of his friends of rape said Friday he will call Rose to the witness stand after the defense finishes cross-examining his client. Ryan Miller Canucks Jersey .Attorney Waukeen McCoy said Rose would be the next witness in the lawsuit seeking $21.5 million in damages from the point guard for the New York Knicks.The woman who accuses Rose and the friends of gang raping her was under tough cross-examination during her second day of testimony.She said she sued Rose to hold him accountable and denied she is doing it for money.Lawyers for Rose presented text messages from the woman to a friend at a time when she was unemployed.I need a very wealthy man. We should go find one, one text stated.The woman also sent a text to a friend saying that since she had filed suit, they would return their TV and upgrade to a plasma screen.Rose, 28, and his friends Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton have denied the accusations in the lawsuit and claimed the woman willingly had sex with all three.The Associated Press is not naming the woman because it generally does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.On Thursday, her vague recall and testimony that contradicted what she told lawyers during her deposition left her vulnerable to combative cross-examination by Roses lawyer as the Knicks player looked on with little reaction.In a soft voice that at times couldnt be heard by lawyers or jurors, the 30-year-old woman said she was intoxicated and felt like she had been drugged after a visit to Roses mansion in Beverly Hills in August 2013.As she began to connect a night of drinking at Roses place on Aug. 26, 2013, with the disputed incident early the next morning at her apartment, she took a long pause in her testimony and wept quietly, hiding her face behind a computer screen at the witness stand.Roses lawyer used a string of text messages as a timeline to question the womans story and whether she even drank enough to black out hours later. And he questioned how she had managed to send lucid text messages during that period -- several of which invited Rose to her apartment.Baute got her to concede she had lied to Rose in text messages earlier that day about plans she had and a stop at a sex shop she never made.The woman testified that she began dating Rose on and off over 20 months -- a relationship the defense has called friends with benefits -- after meeting him during the 2011 NBA lockout at a Hollywood nightclub.She thought they had a future together, though Baute cast doubt on that.He showed that until that night in August, Rose had never been to her place, she never attended any of his games and during a visit when he was playing in Philadelphia, she never left their hotel.After they split up in early summer of 2013, she hadnt been in touch with Rose until the morning of Aug. 26 when she texted him a photo of herself and said he was her inspiration.She said she didnt go to the police because she was embarrassed and feared her name would become public and her family would find out.Baute asked if she didnt report the incident because she didnt want to be responsible for inviting someone over to her apartment for sexual intercourse at 3 a.m. and falsely accuse them of rape.I never did any of those things, she said.She reported the incident to police after filing the lawsuit more than two years later.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem before a U.S. womens national team match against Thailand on Thursday night.Rapinoe first knelt during the anthem on Sept. 4 before a game with her National Womens Soccer League team, the Seattle Reign. She said she wanted to express solidarity with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is not standing during the anthem to bring attention to racial inequality.After Thursday nights game, which the United States won 9-0, U.S. Soccer issued a statement to ESPN that said representing the country is a privilege and honor for any play or coach associated with the national teams.Therefore, our national anthem has particular significance for U.S. Soccer. In front of national and often global audiences, the playing of our national anthem is an opportunity for our Mens and Womens National Team players and coaches to reflect upon the liberties and freedom we all appreciate in this country.As part of the privilege to represent your country, we have an expectation that our players and coaches will stand and honor our flag while the National Anthem is played.It was unclear whether Rapinoe would face any sanctions from the federation.Rapinoe did not start the game at Mapfre stadium. She knelt from a spot near the bench while the fellow reserves around her stood.The 31-year-old, who helped the U.S. win the World Cup last year and played in the Rio Olympics, came into the game at the start of the second half.At a game Sunday night in Seattle, the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, she stood and linked arms with her Reign teammates.Last week before a Reign match against the Washington Spirit in Maryland, the antheem was played before the teams took the field rather than subject our fans and friends to the disrespect we feel such an act would represent, said a Spirit statement that cited the personal beliefs of the team owner. Ben Hutton Canucks Jersey Authentic. There was speculation that Rapinoe might refrain from kneeling before Thursday nights game because she was playing for the United States and not her club team. It was also the final game for midfielder Heather OReilly, who was retiring after 15 years with the national team.Kaepernicks refusal to stand for the anthem first came to public notice when he remained seated on the bench before an NFL preseason game against Green Bay. Since then numerous players have joined the protest, taking a knee or raising a fist.Being a gay American, I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties. It was something small that I could do and something that I plan to keep doing in the future and hopefully spark some meaningful conversation around it, Rapinoe told American Soccer Now about her motivation for the protest.Since coming out in 2012, Rapinoe has been devoted advocate for LGBT rights and has worked with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and other organizations.Rapinoe also has been vocal about pay equity, and was among five national team players who lent their names to a complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging wage discrimination. The players claim that members of the team make in some cases up to four times less than their male national team counterparts.
