Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who said he had received death threats for his social activism, said after Sunday’s game the threats have diminished.

Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin, who said in an interview with “60 Minutes Sports” that is due to air Tuesday that he had received death threats for his social activism this season, said after Sunday’s game the threats have diminished in recent weeks.

Baldwin said the threats happened primarily before the Seahawks linked arms during the national anthem in the season opener and that they weren’t really concerning anymore.

“The issue was more so prior to our demonstration the first game,” Baldwin said.
