Seattle Seahawks’ Michael Bennett on why he’s voting for Bernie Sanders

Seattle defensive lineman MIchael Bennett stepped into the waters of politics Wednesday saying he plans to vote for Bernie Sanders for president.

Many athletes chose to keep political leanings and other sensitive topics to themselves, whether because they are advised to by others or simply because they want to.

But it’s been clear for a while now that Michael Bennett is not like many athletes.
