It is no secret that Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is one of the most outspoken figures across the modern-day NFL landscape while once again putting such a notion on full display.
Carroll has now opened the door for players to protest games due to the ongoing social and racial injustice-related issues throughout the United States.
“Anything’s possible,” Carroll recently said in an official statement released by the Seahawks. “I mentioned to the players this is the year — the protest season. It’s the season of protesting. And we’ll handle ourselves as we do. This is a protest that doesn’t have an end to it until all the problems go away. And we solve the issues and stuff. So we’re gonna do our part and continue to work to stay actively involved, and continue to stay in touch with the situations that are going on by staying on the topics and with it just in hopes that we can be there to help and support where we can and have influence where we can.”
In addition to Carroll, the Seahawks also employ quarterback Russell Wilson, who isn't shy to speak his mind either—especially when it comes to the betterment of our country and its people.
With Carroll now formally (and publicly) giving his players the green light to stand up for what they believe in, the Seahawks could lead the way in this department on the NFL front heading into the upcoming 2020 regular season, which is now only a few weeks away.
