    Not according to the article and your opening post. Are you derailing your own post??

    No, they don't.... but if his collusion lawsuit comes out that 2 or more teams were "working together" to ensure he didn't get signed, that's a big problem for the NFL and those teams... I doubt that will be the outcome however... As we are all finding out, collusion is dang hard to prove....

    Of course you can, and if not you should be able to discriminate how you see fit, anything less is a slap in the face towards equality and freedom. Although careful what you wish for, companies that hate America and freedom probably won't last long. Contrary to liberal belief, most Americans actually like America...

    Everyone remembers Ray Lewis. What about Donte Stallworth, he was a fairly average player but killed someone and still got to play for 3 different teams after he got out of jail.

    Teams are free to sign or refuse to sign who they want... that's exactly my point.

    You don't even understand the article you've posted?? LOL

    They are not hiring him because he is refusing to stand, meaning they are forcing to stand in order to get the job. If this have nothing to do with it, then why did you make this useless post?? This isn't a football forum.

    Michael Vick is the obvious comparison to Kap, in terms of getting back in the NFL after a gap.... everybody thought he was done, but he had enough talent (if not soul or brains) to make it back in the NFL, and at a top level... If Vick can make a comeback, anybody can...

    Why did you even post this pathetic post?? Your premise was that he wasn't hired because he refuse to stand. Are you back tracking now??

    And now he's not because he won't stand (so it seems).... without a workout, he won't be signed, so it amounts to the same thing... Seattle probably would have been smarter to have the workout, then say we won't sign him because he won't help our team... that really cannot be challenged as it's a "football" decision, not a political decision, regardless of the legitimacy of the claim...

    There is no legal obligation to workout any reason.

    Vick did some horrific things to animals, did 2 years of time and still got signed onto the Eagles in 2009. I imagine Eagles fans were livid when they found this out, yet pretty much forgot about it the next year when he took them to the playoffs, including that one game he singlehandedly destroyed the Redskins. It helps that Vick was already a multi-Pro Bowler and freakishly good beforehand.

    As for Kap, I can't say teams aren't signing him because he's unskilled. No less than 5 QBs with little to no real success in the league were signed, either as starters or backups to a team sometime during last season. The Bears signed Mike Glennon to a $45 million contract last year before benching him in favor of a rookie after 4 games.

    Really?? Are you sure?? Duh...

    The point is - Why would the Seahawks have scheduled the workout in the first place, probably knowing Kap hadn't already softened his stance on kneeling, then cancel for that very reason?? Nonsensical...

    Seattle can say he was given an opportunity and passed for his own reasons. Now ALL owners are safe if they reject his America hating ass...

    Cite me the legal obligation to workout someone based on any premise. Keep in mind, a workout is not a contract.

    Yes, in Kapetdink was a Johnny Unitas he would be allowed to kneel and play. BTW I am not sympathetic to this on the field protest especially since thecreason this protest is being done had nothing to do with the game of football. Go protest your stupid butt off during the off season.
    Of when you playing days are over run for public office or join some organization that you support. During a game and during the season Shut The Fornication Up?

    Your reading comprehension and analysis is sorely lacking.

    Going by your logic your post is worthless and form zero basis for any discussion.

    He told them he wasn't going to stop kneeling and so they told him not to bother showing up.

    What exactly do you think the grounds for a lawsuit would be?

    Hes toxic to teams, to the league, to the NFL brand in general.

    You think David Duke would have grounds to sue if they turned him down?

    Get real.

    Trolling negates any argument you had.

    Please enlighten: What's the difference between a workout and a signed contract?
