Pete Carroll Responds to Donald Trump, Wishes He Would Be 'Empathetic'

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has been outspoken in support of his players in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's "son of a bitch" remarks, and that theme continued Tuesday.

Appearing on CNN (via Q13's Dusty Lane), Carroll had a message for Tump after players across the NFL engaged in displays of unity over the weekend.

"I just wish he would understand that this is a moment to be empathetic," Carroll said.

Prior to Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium, the Seahawks decided as a team to remain in the locker room during the national anthem.
