Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman breaks down Colin Kaepernick’s situation with the NFL not signing him. The 29-year-old cornerback says “It’s not about football or color, it’s about, ‘Boy, stay in your place.’”

Read on to get the details on Richard Sherman and his point of view…

CelebNSports247.com has an interesting perspective from Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman, who feels the Colin Kaepernick free agent status is about much more.

Now that quarterbacks of lesser abilities such as Geno Smith, Mark Sanchez, Matt McGloin, Blaine Gabbert, Dan Orlovsky, and others have been signed. Sherman points out why Kaepernick situation is different.

Richard told USA Today’s Jarrett Bell that only two teams have shown interest, but nothing has happened. it’s a bit hypocritical of the NFL, since league didn’t black ball Michael Vick or Ray Rice like this.

See what happens when a player like Kaepernick tries to do good and help people, he get punished. While other players like Vick and Rice get a hand slap on the wrist and opportunities to come back to a team.

Why do wrongdoers get the green light and good doers get shut down?

Sherman said:

“The funny thing about it, when you’re not being blackballed, you don’t have to say he’s not being blackballed. When football’s a safe game, you don’t have to say, ‘Football’s a safe game.’ It seems like the commissioner always has to say things to justify something.”

Sherman added:

“But you didn’t even do this with Mike Vick. Vick came back and (eventually) got a $100 million deal.”

At first, Sherman was “a bit baffled” in his team not signing Kaepernick. The Seahawks main arguement was that Kaep was not good anymore, but Sherman quickly laid that to rest.

Sherman shut that down by stating:

“He played in Chip (Kelly)’s system last year and went 16-4 (TD-to-INT ratio) on a bad team. He played well because he’s a good football player. He may not be the best, but he’s better than a lot of these dudes starting.”

He followed his statement with facts and names.

“Now if you told me this guy threw eight pick-sixes last year and played like a bum, had no talent, that’s one thing. But Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett or whoever is playing for the Jets right now — whoever is starting for the Jets is terrible — have jobs.” He also mentioned Kaepernick being better than Blake Bortles and Jared Goff.

Then, Sherman advocated for others in the NFL to speak up on Kaepernick’s behalf:

“Not a lot of guys are willing to step out there. So the guys not speaking up for him are doing him a disservice.”

Richard’s teammate Michael Bennett spoke up for Colin by making some valid points when it comes to Kaepernick’s situation.:

“There are (accused) rapists and drunk drivers in the league. But he’s somebody who didn’t do anything to anybody.”

Explain that NFL? Oh wait you can’t, you just don’t like the fact that Colin Kaepernick was helping the black community. The community that the US still wants to control and oppress.
