Furious woman confronts Seahawks players: 'Get off your f–king knees'

After the incident, Thorpe posted.

"Get up and be a man", the woman can be heard saying in the video.

For the past two seasons, multiple players around the National Football League, including multiple Seahawks players, have been kneeling during the anthem as way to protest racial injustice and police brutality against minorities.

"I don't care who you are".

Graham has four seasons with double-digit touchdowns, including previous year in Seattle when he found the end zone 10 times. With Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb on the decline, Gutekunst is intrigued by the marquee names available at wide receiver.

Thorpe, a key special-teams player, played in 14 games, but it's unclear whether he protested during the anthem. Instead, opting to get on their knees and not properly represent the country which gave them the opportunity to play football.

Protests during the national anthem have been a divisive issue since former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was noticed sitting during "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to a 2016 preseason game. "All I care about is that my tax dollars pay for you to play, and go (expletive) play and get off your (expletive) knees". The NFL and teams raise the vast majority of their revenue from fans, sponsors and broadcasters rather than the government although local taxes are sometimes used to help build stadiums.

The woman declined to reveal her identity and was uninterested in learning who she was accosting.

Another fact for lunatic lady: Tyson was on the Seattle roster only for the final three weeks of last season, and was never in uniform, so therefore couldn't have protested.
