Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumSeattle Seahawks’ Michael Bennett on why he’s voting for Bernie Sanders
Seattle defensive lineman MIchael Bennett stepped into the waters of politics Wednesday saying he plans to vote for Bernie Sanders for president.
Many athletes chose to keep political leanings and other sensitive topics to themselves, whether because they are advised to by others or simply because they want to.
But its been clear for a while now that Michael Bennett is not like many athletes.
And Wednesday, when Bennett stepped in front of the cameras for a group session with the media, he did so wearing a Bernie Sanders hat adorned with a Bernie button.
Im going to vote for Bernie Sanders next year if hes a candidate, Bennett said. Hes my pick, my choice so Im wearing the hat that I got from him.

(975 posts)Pro sports seem to be the one place we can go and get away from the partisan bickering. Very few political lines when it comes to fans of a team. It sometimes leads to other bickering though but it's good to have a place to escape the political shit and just hang out. Thanks and Happy Holidays.
