Seattle’s socialist City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant sent a letter to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and owner Paul Allen encouraging them to sign San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Sawant announced the letter in a press release Friday. However, in her letter she misidentified Carroll’s title. He is the coach and executive vice president of football operations. John Schneider is the general manager and executive vice president.

Seattle area people will appreciate this :
Ms Council Person, the Seahawks will sign Kaepernick in exchange for you voting the vacation of Occidental Street thereby allowing a privately funded NBA and NHL arena to be built. Deal?

I encourage the Seahawks to sign-up Kshama Sawant for the position of tackling dummy.
Either that, or pinata...

The people of Seattle voted for this left wing nincompoop, and they deserve every rotten thing that she dishes out to them.

Had it been a Republican politician, the whole media would have been frothing at the mouth about abuse of power, pressuring citizens, bla, bla, bla...

That’s an early warning for the Seahawks just how politicized it will be should Kapernick join the team.
Since when has this unrepentant socialist cared about football?

Former San Francisco quarterback. He's no longer under contract to the 49ers and is a free agent.

We’ve been NFL-free for 2 years now. We thought it would be tough to give up. It wasn’t.

Does someone want to point out to this woman that the Seahawks already have a pretty good backup QB who actually had a better passing then primary QB with far less playing time.

And Colin took his team to a 1 and 10 record last year.

Why would Seattle want a quarterback who passes the salt at the dinner table and gets intercepted?

Have any of the morons considered that he may not be a NFL caliber quarterback? Or are they just trying to use racist extortion to get him a position?

Dear Seattle Seahawks,

Draft free agent Collin Kaepernick and I will instantly become a Denver Broncos and New England Patriots fan!! I will burn my Seahawks swag and never NEVER again set foot in your stadium. The 12th man will become silent.

I’ve been NFL free for the past 16yrs. Not out of choice, but out of location. Between living in Japan, Thailand, Philippines, and Iraq, I had no access to watch the games. I went back to the US last year, and was looking forward to watching a few games on the boob tube until idiot boy did this with no repercussions from the NFL. That basically told me they were ok with what he did. I wasn’t, and skipped the games and watched This Old House instead. I, however, did cheat and watched the super bowl on a Philippino channel. Was a good game.

Why doesn’t this bitch offer to pony-up the dough to sign Colon to the Seahawks?

Ah, that’s right. Socialists only spend other people’s money.
