The Seattle Seahawks joined the long list of NFL teams who chose to cancel or postpone practices this week in protest of the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake. In his comments about why he chose to cancel Saturday’s practice, Pete Carroll made it clear that his goal was to educate “white people” about “racism in America.”

“This is about racism in America that white people don’t know,” Carroll said in a press conference. “They don’t know enough. And they need to be coached up and they need to be educated about what the heck is going on in this world.”

Carroll added, “Black people can’t scream anymore,” Carroll went on. “They can’t march anymore or they can’t bare their souls anymore to what they’ve lived with for hundreds of years.”

For Carroll to say that the system in which “white guys” made all the money is still in place, while he coaches in a league that has produced more black millionaires than any other organization on Earth, is something. It’s also unknown how canceling a football practice would fix such a system even if it did exist, but it all apparently makes sense to Carroll.
