Seattle Seahawks players say the team might boycott the national anthem during an upcoming game with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, September 11 — the anniversary of the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.

I don’t see Wilson and Sherman being part of this.
Makes perfect sense coming from Seattle. I loathe Pete Carrol.
Me too!
So - at the risk of divulging to much ...
I am a Seahawks fan
Here is their feedback web page i.e the complaint department Fan Feedback
This is what I wrote them - I hope they don't do it because I'm gone if they do. Please jump on their webernets if you feel so inclined!
I was born in Seattle in 1975 - In 1976 the Seahawks where born, coincidentally in Seattle as well. I have grown up with you. Jack Patera was it can hardly remember him. The real Curt Warner. Heros and positive people like Russell Wilson. This is a team, a community, a history, its not just these current players. Do you remember Pete Gross? We had a fullback who was a doctor not a bad fullback either. Please stand during the national anthem if you can't do that if you kneel know a proud and loyal fan will drop you like a bad habit. Please remember you are playing a game we like to watch and love how it unites our community; however, we are a community of Americans. Whatever gripes you have, you players of all people you have the the megaphone to voice them more so then most other private citizens I say to the players. Disrespecting the so many from all over, some who heros have died so these people have these superfluous but wonderful jobs is such a bad idea. Don't give in to the false ginned up wedge issues during election season. Its things like football that unite and bring us past these difficult issues we have together. I'm not you enemy I'm a huge fan stop what you are about to do is wrong and will damage you for a long time. You are exaggerating your importance in the grand scheme of things and are letting yourselves get distracted in a bunch of genuine hoopla. You will be lumped in with the hate America crowd - I understand you don't see it that way but you will and probably rightly so. Where was this outrage when you were uniting the community with championships and superbowl visits. Realize what disrespecting the flag means - It is implicitly understood you are making a political statement that during a time when a huge majority elected a black president this is a racist country and we need to make a big deal about this during a football game? Perspective - focus Lets win football games fellas thats what your here to do. Grow a pair. If you want to get involved in the political communtiy get off your ass in your own time like the rest of have to do. Seriously grow up and don't mess up a season because of jackassary.
Great idea. I have to bathe my cat anyway...
Stick to beating your wives and striking for more money, jerkoffs.
Some more O’Doughnuts styie 9-11 “truth”.
If it happens, I’m done with the NFL for life.
Wonder if these geniuses understand that these stunts just create more and more votes for Donald Trump?
Glad Pete the poodle got beaten by Patriots on stupid decision during super bowl.
I’m boycotting the NFL tonight.
Funny that the end of the NFL would go the way of protesting against americans. I thot they would all become pufters.

The weather is still nice. Plenty of other fun things to do. Wouldn’t it be awesome if every football fan in America turned off their tv this Sunday? The NFL doesnt deserve its fans.
Don’t worry, the dopey “12’s” in Seattle will give these cop hating/America hating chumps a standing ovation for their “bravery” in spitting on their country on 9/11. The 12’s would spit on the cops working security there if their Seathug heroes told them to.
These “12’s” are quite tribal folks. Even some of the commentators on the local Conservative talk station KVI are big fans of the SeaThugs and probably love the SeaThugs more than they love the very police they claim to support.

Perfect...as Laura Ingraham says, “Shut up and sing!”
I'm a Trojan fan and don't follow the NFL, but teradittos!
Thanks! Seahawks fan also. Born here in 1951. Largent, Zorn, and Warner would be embarrassed, I think.
