Seattle Seahawks Are Planning Some Sort Of National Anthem Protest

[Stellar]

Two weeks after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem sitdown grabbed headlines, the Seattle Seahawks could be ready to join him.

Seahawks defensive back Jeremy Lane has already done so. Lane sat down during the national anthem before Seattle’s final preseason game against the Oakland Raiders last week. But now, it seems the entire Seahawks team is planning something during their season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. What that something is, though, remains unclear.

The first sign that more Seahawks players may join Lane and Kaepernick came from veteran wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who told the Seattle Times on Wednesday that he has considered sitting through the anthem.

“I have [considered it],” Baldwin said. “I want to make sure I get all of my ducks in a row before I do so.’’

Linebacker Bruce Wagner told the Times that whatever the team decides to do, “it’s not going to be individual. It’s going to be a team thing. That’s what the world needs to see. The world needs to see people coming together versus being individuals.”

Wagner added that it would be “a big surprise.”

On Thursday afternoon, Baldwin posted a cryptic tweet about the team’s plans:

3. Considering the way the Anthem was massacred by that "singer" tonight......

I think every player on the field should have taken a knee.
