NEW YORK -- Some Columbia University wrestlers will be suspended from the team for as long as the rest of the school year over lewd and racially insensitive text messages, but some teammates can keep competing, including in a state championship this weekend, the university announced on Friday.Columbia wouldnt say how many wrestlers are barred from competing, citing educational privacy laws, and the team coach and assistant coaches didnt immediately respond to emails and phone calls seeking comment.The team apologized in a letter on Thursday, calling the text messages inexcusable and saying members were prepared for repercussions.We could not be more remorseful for the harm that this situation has caused, the team wrote, according to a student-run blog that said it received the letter.The blog, Bwog.com, had published screengrabs of the crude text messages.The Ivy League university had put all competition on hold Monday to investigate the texts, which the blog said were exchanged by seniors on the wrestling team.Some messages disparaged female students, expressed hope that someone would be sexually assaulted at a campus event, used anti-gay terms and slurred black people, including while discussing the deadly police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.The blog redacted the senders identities, so it was unclear how many people sent or responded to them. But Columbias athletics department said in a statement on Friday it determined only a distinct group of wrestlers was involved.Those responsible for the offensive statements are suspended from the team through the rest of the school year, some others are barred just through the rest of the semester and those who werent involved can continue competing, the athletics department said. No wrestlers are suspended from their studies, just from the sport.The department said it recognized students have a right to express themselves, but the appalling messages dont fit behavior standards for Columbias student-athletes. The athletes code of conduct includes pledges to treat everyone with dignity and respect and not to do anything that might reflect poorly on themselves or the team.The wrestlers will work with an advocate for fighting discrimination in sports, the department said.The messages were revealed a week after Harvard University canceled the remainder of the season for its mens soccer team because of lewd comments about members of the womens soccer team.

Adidas Sharks Jerseys . LOUIS -- St. NEW YORK -- Things are going so well for the Kansas City Royals these days they have even figured out how to turn the sun in their favour. And on the road. The Royals beat the New York Mets 6-2 on a sun-splashed Sunday, winning for the 11th time in 12 games and finishing a franchise-best 8-1 road trip. Ervin Santana scattered five hits and allowed one run in six innings, and Kansas City was helped by a pair of flyballs that Mets right fielder Marlon Byrd lost in the glare. Both came during a three-run fifth, with one falling for a double and the other glancing off his glove for an error. "The sign of a good team is when there is mistakes made on the field, we take advantage," said third baseman Mike Moustakas, who hit a solo homer. "That sun out there in right field was terrible. You saw outfielders on both teams struggling. "Luckily we didnt have as many flyballs hit over there." The Royals posted their best mark ever on a trip of at least nine games. They pulled out this series with two wins after losing the opener on Friday night on Eric Young Jr.s game-ending homer in the 11th inning. "It was a tough loss the first night," outfielder Alex Gordon said. "A good team bounces back and forgets about it and comes out and wins the next two." Santana (8-6) has three wins and a no-decision in his past four starts, giving up a total of four earned runs. He is 5-1 since the beginning of June and has posted a 1.27 ERA since the All-Star break. "Keep the ball down, throw strikes, and thats it," he said. "Thats what I know I can do." Zack Wheeler (4-2) lost for the first time in six starts. He gave up four runs -- three earned -- and issued five walks, three to George Kottaras, in five innings. The light-hitting catcher was the only Royals player who batted not to have a hit. He also was struck by a pitch in going 0 for 1. Wheeler wasnt nearly as sharp as in his previous start Tuesday at Miami when he carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, but the rookie right-hander was hurt by the defence behind him and behind the plate by catcher John Buck. "Its too bad we couldnt hit the ball that high today and get their right fielder involved," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Had it been a cloudy day, its 1-1." Wheeler fell behind 1-0 in the fourth inning on Moustakas 10th homer, and the Royals batted around in the fifth. The trouble started right away when David Lough lofted a fly ball that Byrd got under but couldnt catch as he battled the sun. Lough didnt run hhard out of the box, yet still made it to second base with a double.dddddddddddd Miguel Tejada bunted him to third, but Lough was forced to leave the game because of right quadriceps tightness. With Eric Hosmer batting, pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson scored on the first of Wheelers two wild pitches in the inning to make it 2-0. Hosmer walked, and Gordon lofted a fly to deep right field that Byrd tracked to the fence. He again struggled with the sun, and the ball hit his mitt and fell to the ground, sending Gordon to second on the error. "It was bad position on my part out there," Byrd said. "I chalk it up to, I need to get better with sun balls. I cant misplay two balls in a game like that. "Its tough knowing youre the reason you lost the game. Somewhere, somehow I need to figure out a way to catch those." Lorenzo Cain then lined a shot to right that Byrd pulled up on and bobbled. Hosmer, who had held up, nearly got lapped by the speedy Gordon as both runners scored almost side by side to give the Royals a 4-0 lead. Wheeler threw another wild pitch, and Buck was charged with a passed ball as Kansas City reloaded the bases. Wheeler struck out Santana looking to end the inning. "Picking it up and getting past stuff in the field is something Ive always prided myself in doing," Wheeler said. "It didnt happen today." The Mets got one run back in the bottom half on Youngs RBI single. However, Byrds tough day continued when he struck out with the bases loaded. Kansas City tacked on two runs in the sixth after Gonzalez Germen relieved Wheeler. Hosmers RBI single drove in Dyson, who had led off with a double. Gordon singled to make it 6-1. Santana was left in to take his at-bat in the seventh inning in a sacrifice situation. Santanas bunt found a hole between the mound and first base, giving him his fourth major league hit in 25 career at-bats. He hadnt had a hit since 2011. Buck, awaiting the imminent birth of his son, had an RBI single in the eighth to make it 6-2. NOTES: Royals manager Ned Yost said Lough is playing at 80-85 per cent. He wont play the next two games. ... New York 2B Daniel Murphy moved back into his usual No. 2 spot after hitting No. 5 the previous two days. He also lost a ball in the sun. ... The Royals placed All-Star C Salvador Perez on the seven-day concussion disabled list. He was struck in the mask by a foul ball Saturday. Brett Hayes was recalled from Triple-A Omaha.
