Colin Kaepernick’s WorkOut With Seattle Seahawks Off Because He Won’t Stop Kneeling Protest
NFL player, Colin Kaepernick who caused a firestorm of controversy when he knelt down while the national anthem was playing to protest racial injustice, has hit another stumbling block in his career because of his protest.
Reports say the Seattle Seahawks had invited Kaep to a workout roughly 2 weeks ago to potentially take a job as Russell Wilson’s backup QB, but the brakes were put on the plans because Kaepernick would not stop his kneeling protest.
According to sources, the team reached out to Kaepernick with specific questions about his kneeling protest — and essentially wanted him to stipulate that if signed, he would NOT kneel during the 2018 season.
In other words, the team wanted a guarantee Colin would stand during the anthem.
Kaepernick would not agree to that stipulation — so the Seahawks called off the workout, despite the fact travel plans had already been arranged.
There are reports the workout has been “postponed” — but we’re being told it’s off the table.
