On the surface, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s words about Colin Kaepernick were complimentary and important.
Carroll talked about how much Kaepernick did during his peaceful protest over social inequality. He said "we owe a tremendous amount" to Kaepernick.
But apparently part of owing Kaepernick a tremendous amount didn’t include Carroll’s Seahawks giving Kaepernick a job — one he deserved in the NFL — when they had a chance.
Carroll’s words are a lot more empty when you consider how he and the Seahawks shunned Kaepernick, and due to those same actions Carroll praised this week, when he would have been a great fit for their football team.
