FootballDolphins 23Bengals 24 RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seahawks coach Pete Carroll
wanted to be talking about football matters — Seattle’s recommitment to the run
game, the addition of two new coordinators, almost anything to do with what
happens between the
lines.Instead
Andrew
Van Ginkel white jersey , the league’s oldest coach has spent the past few
days processing and discussing the league’s new mandate that players on the
field stand for the national anthem. Carroll, his players and those around the
NFL are now trying to figure out how to tackle the polarizing topic in the
locker room.“We’re going to have to deal with that,” Carroll said. “I was kind
of liking the way it was going and so now it’s kind of taken out of the control
from the coach and the players and the locker room to a certain extent, so we’re
going to have to deal with that. In time, we’ll figure it out.”Players from
Seattle, Buffalo, Denver and New Orleans were among those grappling with how to
move forward following the league’s announcement Wednesday of a new national
anthem policy, which will fine teams if players on the field are not standing
for the anthem. Players wishing to continue demonstrations like the kneeling
movement sparked by Colin Kaepernick to protest social injustice will be allowed
to remain in the locker room during the anthem.Seattle’s Doug Baldwin had the
most striking comments, directed at both the league and President Donald Trump
after his remarks to “Fox & Friends” on Thursday saying “maybe you shouldn’t
be in the country” if you don’t stand for the anthem.“He’s an idiot. Plain and
simple,” Baldwin said. “I respect the man because he’s a human being first and
foremost, but he’s just being divisive, which is not surprising. It is what it
is. But for him to say anybody who doesn’t follow his viewpoints or his
constituents viewpoints should be kicked out of the country is not very
empathetic. It’s not very American like,
actually

not what this country was founded upon. It’s kind of ironic to me the President
of the United States is contradicting what our country is really built on.”Even
normally reserved Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson agreed with the sentiment
that the owners’ decision was a message to players to essentially be
quiet.“Pretty much. I think that’s part of it. It seems that way,” Wilson said.
“But I think a policy right or wrong is not going to fix our problems.”The new
policy allows teams to adopt their own workplace rules, which many players
interpreted as a backhanded way of subjecting them to fines, suspensions or loss
of jobs should they carry on with the protests.Players are also frustrated the
league didn’t consult with the players’ association before announcing the
policy.“I mean, they weren’t ever going to engage us anyway. When you really
think about it, why would we have a say-so?” Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall
said. “I think they should have, right, but I guess they don’t look at us like
that, to have a say-so or input in this policy.”Others around the league didn’t
see the policy as a potential issue.“I’m really not too worried about it. I
would expect that everybody’s gonna be out there with their hand over their
heart, showing respect to the flag and to the country,” New Orleans quarterback
Drew Brees said.But teammate Demario Davis had mixed emotions about the policy.
His father served in the military, but he also understands why players have been
protesting.“I just think that when you love something — you care about it — you
want to work to get it right. I love my children. When they do wrong things, I’m
going to let them know they’re doing wrong things. I’m not just going to sweep
it under the rug because I love
them

patriotism and nationalism. Nationalism is loving your country just to love it,
you know, even when it’s right or wrong, you’re going to take the side of your
country. Patriotism is loving it enough to sacrifice for it, but also to call it
(out) when it’s wrong.“The people who are speaking up for the people who are
hurting have a deep love and devotion for our country. That’s kind of gotten
misconstrued at times. But it’s important for people to understand that.”The
decision by the owners was an attempt to quell a firestorm by moving protests
away from the public eye and potentially lure back disgruntled fans. But in the
process they may have disgruntled their employees and rekindled what appeared to
be an issue that was dying down.“With this policy, with the inflammatory
statement that Roger Goodell put out (Wednesday) again you opened the door for
response and again to my point earlier, I think they missed it on that one,”
Baldwin said.——AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton and AP Sports Writer Brett
