Russell Wilson has found himself in the middle of controversy again.
According to a recent report from the Athletic, Wilson asked the Seahawks ownership to fire Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider but the team opted to trade him instead.

Wilson has already come forward to deny the claim.
I love Pete and he was a father figure to me and John believed in me and drafted me as well. I never wanted them fired. All any of us wanted was to win.
l’ll always have respect for them and love for Seattle.

Fans apparently don’t believe Wilson.
I can’t be the only one who thinks he’s not telling the full truth here, right? https://t.co/l3wO42JmMA

This fraud/charity thief is denying sports media reports that he tried to get his coach fired & I'm just laughing at Twitter lose their shit watching their golden boy finally get exposed. The whole message of Matthew 6 really just went over the heads American Christian adherents https://t.co/N5wQWVrWLR

You're ready for politics. Lying so well that you believe yourself. https://t.co/Do7LY9JtvU
