SEATTLE The Seahawks’ protest of mistreatment of minorities and the need for police reform in our society continues.
This time, Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett had eight of his teammates on Seattle’s bench with him during the national anthem, before Sunday night’s home game against the Indianapolis Colts. Every one of the Seahawks’ active defensive linemen -- Bennett, Cliff Avril, Frank Clark, Sheldon Richardson, Nazair Jones, Jarran Reed, Garrison Smith, Marcus Smith -- plus linebacker Michael Wilhoite sat during The Star Spangled Banner.
