>> Every Seahawk player and coach stood, arm in arm, for the Anthem.
You seriously believe that was honorable? LOL... that prevented the players from kneeling.
No, not really, but it was better than sitting or kneeling, like the clown dolphin players did.
They were going to all sit, but the ones with the bigger endorsement deals and those who think this protest are BS likely balked and said they were going to stand. Plus the mostly negative feedback they got from the fans prompted them to stand with their arms locked since they wanted unity and not a few malcontents sitting.
