Seahawks stars share fears about virus safety

A number of NFL stars — including Seahawks players Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf — took to Twitter Sunday to express fears about whether training camps set to begin July 28 will have enough coronavirus protections in place.

"I am concerned. My wife is pregnant," Wilson tweeted, adding that "there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety."

"We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones," he wrote.

I am concerned.
My wife is pregnant.@NFL Training camp is about to start..

And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety.

We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. #WeWantToPlay

Other Seahawks players voiced similar sentiments, including Metcalf, who said it was "crazy to hear the NFL has yet to address major health and safety issues with training camp being 2 weeks away," the Seattle Times reported.

Rookies are expected to report to training camps Tuesday, with the remaining players joining by July 28.

Other lawmakers, meanwhile, have proposed a capital gains tax to help ease the state's budgetary situation.
