Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane, who said he plans to continue to sit during the national anthem this season, may not be doing so by himself when the team opens the regular season Sunday against Miami.
Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin said Wednesday he is also considering sitting during the anthem before Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. kickoff at CenturyLink Field while linebacker Bobby Wagner said the team has been talking about a group action.

I truthfully haven’t watched an NFL game in probably 5 years, except for the Super Bowl - and that’s just a family thing. meh to all of them
I sort of hope they do... I need very little encouragement to turn-off NFL coverage going forward. This would probably do it.
I hear calls for boycotting the Seahawks. It’s not just them, it’s the entire NFL that needs to be boycotted. There is no way that these people feel free to show their hatred of America without the consent of their employers.
Fire them both for causing a disturbance and a distraction for the game.
These idiots need to wake up because, their local fan base is full of veterans and current serving Military men and women. They are idiots to even consider this crap and Carrol is a fool for letting it go on.
Idiots.
It is depressing living here in the Seattle area and being surrounded by so many low-information people. Reading the comments following the Seattle Times article leaves me embarrassed for such shallow-thinking people. Well, this thing by Baldwin will free up a few hours every week for me.
I’m done.
I won’t watch another NFL game for a long time. I don’t need to be preached to by a bunch of overgrown and overpaid children. They should go live in Africa and see how great it is. The NFL is heading for problems because of its ungrateful morons.
if they were my employees they would be punished for bringing ill repute to the franchise. they can do what they want on their own time but not my dime.
Agreed. Goodell is a fool for allowing this.
I have never been a ChokeHawks fan.
I am not now a ChokeHawks fan.
I will never be a ChokeHawks fan.
And I will rub this shameful spoiled-brat crap in the face of ALL the ChokeHawks fans in our office EVERY WEEK
The poorest of any race in this country still rate in the top 1% of the world.
And these spoiled brat a-holes are (mostly) in the top 1% or so of this country.
I’ve told my husband if the team does this, I’ll never ever support them again...
They can stay on their asses. We can stay on ours. At home. F the ungrateful bassturds!
The problem with your strategy is that most of the fans will cry and moan about it but over time more and more of the players will join the protest and the fans will just come to accept it.
After all, pro football is more important than patriotism.
Pffft.......ingrates is correct. Notice they have no problem getting paid by evil whitey. No problem at all.
The way that you do this is you don’t purchase any concessions while the protesters are in the game.
Don’t purchase the NFL package #cuttheNFL
Cut your cable (they use your money against you)
#cutyourcable
Our POTUS Negro sure has brought our country together, and “healed our national wounds”...
They’re too damn dumb to know that.
I just called Direct TV, and had them cancel my NFL Season Ticket. I’m fed up with this crap.
