WASHINGTON Cheap Washington Nationals Jerseys , Mar. 18 (Xinhua) -- The decision of Adidas not renewing its NBA outfit contract could be a risky move for the sportswear giant and reshape the U.S. retail sportswear market.

With months of declining U.S. market share, Adidas fell to the No. 3 spot in U.S. athletic apparel sales. On Monday, Adidas announced not to pursue an extension to its apparel deal with the National Basketball Association (NBA), which expires at the end of the 2016-17 season.

Changing the investment strategy to players shoes means Adidas has strategically determined that it was better off investing in players than digging into selling jerseys. After losing ground to Nike and was surpassed by Under Armour, the decision is kind of bitter.

Adidas expect to double the number of basketball players who wear its shoes on court from 70 players to 140 players in the next five years, while also focus on youth basketball.

"We feel with a different investment strategy Trea Turner Nationals Jersey , we will be more successful," an Adidas spokeswoman said. "We want to put a bigger focus on players in our shoes."

But the needle-to-head battle against Nike on player sponsorships is domed to be a tough road for Adidas.

According to SportScanInfo, Nike and its Jordan Brand subsidiary commanded 95.5% of the $4.2 billion basketball shoe market last year. Adidas only accounted for 2.6%.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant, the two highest sneaker sellers in the league, are both Nike guys. Anthony Davis, Kobe Bryant Stephen Strasburg Nationals Jersey , Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Carmelo Anthony are also either Nike or Air Jordan players.

Adidas has a long list of notable former NBA players, like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor Shawn Kelley Nationals Jersey , Kobe Bryant, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing and etc., but with Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard struggling with injuries, John Wall might be the only flag-carrier for the brand.

With the success in the NBA, Nike quickly explores the fields as it has extended its on-field apparel deal with the NFL Sean Doolittle Nationals Jersey , which expire after the 2016 season, for three more years till 2019, according to the Sports Business Journal.

But for Adidas, it is going to be story of redemption for the next three years.

Adidas has provided apparel for the NBA since 2006 and its 10- year deal worth an estimated $400 million, expires at the end of the 2016-2017 season. With Adidas out, Nike and Under Armour are expected to battle it out for the contract.

In the course of a year Ryan Zimmerman Nationals Jersey , millions of Americans head for warm climates with waterfront real estate such as islands and beaches. Unfortunately, a leading cause of death for visitors in oceanfront destinations is drowning so I want to address two major areas of water safety.

Drinking:
When on vacation it?s not uncommon for travelers to consume alcoholic beverages and this can become a problem as warm weather and heat can increase the effects of alcohol, contributing to dehydration and increased fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Some physical effects of ingesting alcohol are weakening of the pumping force of the heart, decreased coordination, slowed reaction time, muscle relaxation Michael Taylor Nationals Jersey , lack of behavioral inhibitions and impaired judgment which when lounging on a beach, might prove perfectly acceptable. However should the intrepid inebriated individual decide to participate in physical activities such as swimming after tossing down a few umbrella decorated drinks the risk of injury or death can be dramatically increased.

Rip Currents:
A rip current is a strong flow of water returning seaward from the shore. It is often called a riptide, rip current, a rip, or an undertow. Rip currents can be dangerous for both swimmers and waders by dragging one away from the beach and causing exhaustion when the swimmer fights the current. They occur most often when the tide is low and there are strong onshore winds with rough surf. Increased wind blowing shoreward combined with the pressure of incoming water pressure push more water toward the shore and create a situation wherein the returning water has to find an alternate means to flow back into the sea. Typically, this water will flow parallel to the shore until it finds an easier route away from the shore either through lessened incoming water pressure or a physical feature on the beach that lends itself to facilitating outflow such as a pier Max Scherzer Nationals Jersey , jetty or a split in a barrier sandbar or reef. This strong outflow is usually not terribly wide but is powerful at the surface and will prevent incoming swells and waves from being too pronounced, actually creating a deceptively inviting area of calm water for swimmers.

Obviously, it is advisable to look for the existence of a rip current before heading into the water. Some indicators to look for on the beach prior to entering the water are wave actions inconsistent with the surrounding area such as unusually calm waters, discoloration caused by the strong outgoing current carrying excess debris and soil and waves that don?t wash as far up on the shore as the surrounding area. If you are caught in a riptide, DO NOT PANIC. Understanding that they are generally narrow in width and are simply an outgoing current, float do not struggle. Let the riptide carry you out beyond the breakers and it will dissipate. If you prefer Matt Wieters Nationals Jersey , swim parallel to the beach not directly toward shore. In this way you will cross the current and are less likely to exhaust yourself.
Interestingly, rip currents are used by surfers and lifeguards as they ride the outgoing current to carry them away from shore faster than they would normally be able go to by paddling through the waves.
