Some Seahawks Players Allegedly Don’t Think Russell Wilson Is Black Enough
 

 
Well here we go. In his latest column, Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report shares his thoughts on the Percy Harvin trade, and he’s got some good info. Freeman says that Harvin had become an “accelerant” in the locker room, which was being divided into pro- and anti-Wilson factions. Wilson, according to Freeman, isn’t as beloved within the locker room as many would think:

While reports suggest Wilson wanted to help Harvin through his anger issues, one Seahawks player said the biggest reason the team traded the wide receiver was his increasing animosity towards the third-year QB. Players said Harvin was an accelerant in a locker room that was quickly dividing between Wilson and anti-Wilson. Again, people will deny this, but there’s truth to it. The main issue some players seem to have with Wilson is they think he’s too close to the front office, which is the same ridiculous thing some said about McNabb. How anyone could have a problem with Wilson—one of the best players in the sport and one of its best citizens—is unfathomable to me, but that’s the case. There is also a strictly football issue here with Wilson. I’m told he doesn’t always take the blame with teammates for mistakes he makes. In Wilson’s mind, a bad throw isn’t always his fault. Yet there are other quarterbacks in the NFL who do this—cough, Peyton Manning, cough—and there’s no locker room tumult with them. There is also an element of race that needs to be discussed. My feeling on this—and it’s backed up by several interviews with Seahawks players—is that some of the black players think Wilson isn’t black enough. This, again, was similar to the situation with McNabb. And this, again, will be denied by Seattle people. But there is an element of this. This is an issue that extends outside of football, into African-American society—though it’s gotten better recently. Well-spoken blacks are seen by some other blacks as not completely black. Some of this is at play.
