Frank Clark had a fine campaign for the Seattle Seahawks last year; he amassed 10 sacks and was even voted sixth overall defensive end in the Bleacher Report’s NFL 1000 series.
NFL News: Frank Clark’s forte is football, not apologizing
However, when it comes his personal life and how he affects others with his lack of insensibility, he fails miserably.

Other than being called into Pete Carroll’s office, there might not be other repercussions. That, however, doesn’t give him the right to insult or hurt anybody with his comments. Players can have an opinion about anything as long as their points of view don’t insult, hurt or discriminate others physically or mentally.
