Seahawks new policy...

[bernie]

In light of the Hamlin ordeal, Holmgren now says any player that goes into Pioneer Square 'could' be subject to reduced playing time...

I think these guys are adults and should be able to go wherever they want. This seems like such a 'high school' rule.

I have no idea what Pioneer Square is so I have no idea how this is racist. Splain, please.

The coach said all Seahawks players and coaches are now prohibited from entering Pioneer Square, the historic Seattle bar and restaurant district just north of Qwest Field. Hamlin was assaulted outside a nightclub there.

Holmgren, an NFL head coach the last 14 years, said he had never declared places off-limits to his players before. He added that he knows of at least two players who were with Hamlin at Larry's Nightclub and that he and the team's chief of security, Rick Ninomiya, have talked to those players. Holmgren would not identify them or characterize what was discussed.

Yeah, I know the story. But how is saying don't go to this part of town racist? I mean, if you told a christian he couldn't go to church, that would be discriminatory. But telling black and white players not to go to a part of town? I don't get it.

Yeah, Im not familiar with Seattle so I couldnt tell you either. Hopefully someone will chime in with what I think they will say.
