Kaepernick does it again, Seahawks "postpone" meeting

[docsherm]

I only watch college football.

Yep, same here

Unbelievable any team would consider this guy. I guess they want to see how low ratings can go.

On second thought, they probably had decided to sign Morris, but for PC cover had to look like they were interesed in CK. Similar to how a black guy always gets interviewed for a coaching position even if they have already decided to hire someone else.

Why you gotta start some racism conspiracy theory? If that's your thoughts, fine, but that would be better kept to yourself.

Huh? It is not "racism conspiracy theory", but league policy....

Google "Rooney Rule". Let me help you out:

The Rooney Rule is a National Football League policy that requires league teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs.

I'm not sure why they interviewed him, but to avoid controversy, makes sense. They probably knew he would screw up before he got in to the parking lot.
Do I care about Kaep? No, but I love me some karma.

Well this was the second time Seahawks were going to talk to him.

Denied twice.

It's INCREDULOUS to see that Seattle had the guts to just say no to Dopes.

FIFY!

I live and work in King County WA and this has caused a lot of wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth this week. Some of the football inclined SJWs are claiming the Hawks didn't pick him up just because of his kneeling antics and somehow that is a violation of his right to play football and his First Amendment. Kaep is learning the hard way, via unemployment, that the right to free speech doesn't mean there aren't consequences for your actions. No one owes him a job in the NFL and people are right, no team wants to deal with a mediocre Social Justice Warrior QB with baggage right now.

I remember watching him in college and he was pretty ok then playing for Nevada in the WAC. He was an alright pro QB and went to a Super Bowl in the 2012 season. It was a slide downhill ever since. The guy is 30, has realistically been out of the NFL since he was benched in 2015. He's not playing because he's just not that good compared to the younger guys in the league. Combine that with his baggage and he is unemployable in the NFL. Life's hard, it's harder when you're stupid.

I don't know why all of this is so hard for him to understand? While you’re on the clock, you do what the company asks. Your personal agenda is on your own time. I believe he has the right to protest, but not on someone else’s dime. Every job in America has requirements. You either choose to work there and fulfill those requirements, or you move on. His choice, his priorities. Apparently his ego means more to him than a paycheck. Glad he’s staying home, maybe the NFL can get back to being entertainment, like we pay to see. Maybe Kaepernick can go to work for CNN.

How about the employees, exec's and what not either fired or forced to resign for a statement made on Facebook... if CK has a right to employment regardless of his kneeling or other actions, then so do those other folks. At least the other folks I speak of did it on their own time at home.

The legend Jim Brown nails it....
