About 3 years of NFL hypocrisy was summed up in one coach's comment on Colin Kaepernick's workout

With every question posed, Pete Carroll seemed to squirm a little more.

His responses were clipped. His explanations void of specifics. His face displaying a blend of disinterest and discomfort.

The Seahawks head coach looked uncomfortable with each inquiry about Colin Kaepernick, and specifically, the team’s interest in seeing the former 49ers quarterback in Atlanta. But what Carroll managed to tell reporters was indeed telling.

He voiced how “disappointed” he was that the organization couldn’t follow through on its plan to attend Kaepernick’s NFL workout last week, and he made sure to let everyone know that he had, in fact, been intrigued by the prospect of seeing Kaepernick.
