Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll acknowledged Wednesday that some NFL players may decide against playing in games during the upcoming season out of protest, telling reporters:
"Anything's possible. I mentioned to the players this is the year—the protest season. It's the season of protesting. And we'll handle ourselves as we do. This is a protest that doesn't have an end to it until all the problems go away. And we solve the issues and stuff. So we're gonna do our part and continue to work to stay actively involved, and continue to stay in touch with the situations that are going on by staying on the topics and with it just in hopes that we can be there to help and support where we can and have influence where we can.
