Seahawks' Pete Carroll: I've Talked With Kaepernick, and He Deserves Another Chance to Be an NFL Slave
PJ Media ^ | 17 Mar 2022 | Robert Spencer

Former NFL quarterback and woke activist Colin Kaepernick last fall likened the NFL draft to a slave auction: “What they don’t want you to understand is what’s being established is a power dynamic. Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respect. No dignity left intact.” But Kaepernick has been longing for years to subject himself once again to the tyranny of those who are responsible for this horrific indignity, and now he may have his best opportunity yet: Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has revealed that the hard-Left quarterback contacted him and that he thinks he deserves a second chance.

The Seahawks are looking for a quarterback, and Carroll said Wednesday: “I thought about another guy,” Carroll said. “You can ask questions about Colin Kaepernick. I know. You’re going to ask me, so let me just put it out there. He contacted me the other day. Said, ‘Hey, I’d like to get a shot. I’m working out.’ He sent me some videos. Next thing I know, he’s working out with Tyler Lockett. I don’t know how that happened. Does that guy deserve a second shot? I think he does. Somewhere. I don’t know if it’s here. I don’t know where it is. I don’t know if it’s even in football. I don’t know.”

A tepid expression of interest at best, but if Carroll thinks Kaepernick deserves another shot, he may be the one to make it happen. Kaepernick is the best-known mediocre quarterback in the history of the NFL: the San Francisco 49ers won two and lost six with him at the helm in 2015, and in 2016, Kaepernick was even worse, leading the 49ers to only one win against ten losses

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

You go Kaepernick! Petey is about to take on a malcontent who will destroy whatever remains of his locker room.

Carrol is just an a-hole. Hopeless and unreachable

Kaepernick had his rotten 15 minutes.
He lost.
It’s over.
Time moves on.

Er, Colon. You are being hired for your physical prowess when you join the NFL. They have every right to poke you and prod you. Do you think that it is oppression to require IQ testing of a potential EE hire? Don’t like it? Take a long hike. Off a short pier.

Sign him up and put him in the first preseason game with fifth-string linemen in front of him.

End of problem.

Colin X is running out of $$ I imagine.
What else can the dude do?

Scoop ice cream or wash cars?

I wonder if even that is a step too far for ride-or-die Seahawks fans.

After the Seahawks won that first Super bowl and proceeded to return, he and his methods were the toast of the NFL. They lost that game and have never been the same.

Isn't the USFL starting up again someplace. Maybe he and Antonio Brown can go there and create a real freak show. Sure would drum up publicity. There would have to be stipulations. Keep your uniform on, and your mouth shut....

LOL. If a prospective employer said that about me, I would hear, “I kinda feel sorry for the guy. I wish him luck somewhere else.”

There isn’t a thing this guy can do for a team, so even for a leftist like Pete, this doesn’t make sense.

How about they pay him out of your salary, Pete?

If Kaepernick runs his mouth to much he’ll get set up by one of his O-lineblockers and a defender will get a clear shot at him! :)

They won't sign him. His comment is just the premium payment on his woke cancellation insurance.

Yeah, because Seattle isn’t currently a big enough joke.
