Seahawks: This avid fan’s boycott begins now

I have never seen a more misguided effort to send a message than the Seahawks’ national anthem protest. Disrespecting the anthem and flag is unacceptable, and I hope the public feels the same.

I have attended games, watched them every Sunday, bought the team’s shirts and hats, and considered myself an avid fan. But I have had enough of entitled athletes making terrible choices, and this is a classic example.

As of today, I am no longer watching the games and supporting the Seahawks organization. I will turn my attention to the college game and hope to God they make better choices.
