If you were looking for another reason to hate the Seattle Seahawks, here it is:
SEATTLE TIMES – Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane, who said he plans to continue to sit during the national anthem this season, may not be doing so by himself when the team opens the regular season Sunday against Miami.
Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin said Wednesday he is also considering sitting during the anthem before Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. kickoff at CenturyLink Field while linebacker Bobby Wagner said the team has been talking about a group action.
“I have (considered it),” Baldwin said before Seattle’s practice Wednesday afternoon. “I want to make sure I get all of my ducks in a row before I do so.’’
While Wagner said he didn’t know if he would sit down during the anthem he said “anything we want 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 said he couldn’t say exactly what the team might do, saying “whatever we decide to do will be a big surprise.”
Baldwin, asked if players besides himself have considered joining Lane, said “our locker room has discussed it. So we’ll see.”
A team-wide anthem protest on 9/11 sounds like smart PR. Why not add a flag-burning? https://t.co/IJpoADHpYn

It’s bad enough that the team is considering doing this at all. But to actually do it on 9/11 would take this atrocious spectacle to another revolting level.
I already don’t care for the Seattle Seabirds, but doing this will etch my hate for the team in stone forevermore!
