After the Seattle Seahawks held a mock game on Wednesday, Pete Carroll addressed the shooting of Jacob Blake, which has sparked widespread protest in the sports community.

"This whole thing is ridiculous, and anybody that doesn't recognize that just isn't paying attention," Carroll said.

Carroll was then asked about the possibility of player protests during the 2020 season.

"Anything's possible," he said. "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."
