Former 49ers quarterback remains unsigned after high-profile protest

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly postponed a tryout with free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick after he wouldn’t rule out kneeling during the national anthem.

The Seahawks organization is still considering holding a workout with Kaepernick, who sat out the 2017 NFL season without a contract following a season in which he emerged as the leader of the player take-a-knee activism.

After making arrangements for the tryout two weeks ago, “the trip was unexpectedly scuttled over the Seahawks’ last-minute stipulation regarding Kaepernick’s anthem stance,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, citing a source.

“The source said the Seahawks wanted to know that Kaepernick wouldn’t kneel this season, and he was unwilling to give that assurance to them,” ESPN said in a Thursday report.

It's evident this guy doesn't want to work, he's a much better protester than football player.

I thought the Seahawks players and Pete Carroll were pretty much a pro-kneeling lefty bunch. Why would they care?

No, I’m not a fan any longer but I believe even though the owners don’t admit it they know this crap has hurt the bottom line.
