The Seattle Seahawks reportedly gave Colin Kaepernick the boot from
pre-season training after the out-of-work quarterback flat-out refused
to quit his national anthem protest; adding they were “deciding”
whether to offer the athlete a job for the upcoming season.

According to Fox News, the former 49er was contacted by the Seahawks
weeks ago about a possible visit to the team’s headquarters for
tryouts. Inside sources say the trip was canceled after officials
demanded Kaepernick remain standing during the US national anthem.

“The team reportedly asked Kaepernick if he would continue his protest
if he was signed to the NFL again and he was ‘unwilling to give that
assurance to them,’”.

Kaepernick made national headlines throughout the 2016 season when he
kicked-off the trend of player protests during the ‘Star-Spangled
Banner.’

“The NFL should have suspended him for one game and he would have never
done it again,” Trump told Sean Hannity last October. “They could have
then suspended him for two games and they could have suspended him
again if he did it a third time, for the season, and you would never
have had a problem.”

out why he’s walking in circles."

The NFL is a business. Kaepernick costs his team and the league revenue
with his narcissistic "protest". They are right not to sign him. He's
poison.

For what it's worth, I support the *point* of his protest. It's the
*form* of it that is complete shit. It's an empty gesture in terms of
doing anything productive to get cops to stop mistreating blacks. In
fact, it's entirely counterproductive. If Kaepernick were out with a
group of marchers protesting police shootings and beatings, and risking
getting his own skull cracked with a nigger-knocker, I would have a
little more respect for him. He's not. His kneeling is a pussy gestures.
