RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wasn’t interested in talking about football during his first session with the media since the end of last season. Wilson said change is necessary following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the nationwide protests that have followed.   Wilson’s 35-minute session was as emotional as he’s been in any formal media setting during his time in Seattle. He relayed stories from his youth in Richmond, Virginia, and about raising two kids now with a third on the way.
