Pete Carroll, 9/11 Truther

This is a story that originally broke on June 13, 2013.  With the Seattle Seahawks headed to the Super Bowl, it is emerging from the archives into the headlines.  It would be wonderful if Carroll reaffirmed his interest in what really happened on Sept. 11, 2001, but that seems unlikely.  The Seahawks head coach is getting paid to worry about Peyton Manning and the rest of the Denver Broncos, not the politically-incorrect issue of government lies and cover-ups.  Note: Someone should pay him to worry about government lies and cover-ups.

Rome had its gladiators. The Aztecs had their epic human sacrifices. But in all the annals of bloody spectacle, nothing has ever drawn a crowd like America's biggest annual event: The Super Bowl.

In 2011, 111 million people watched the Super Bowl, making it the most-viewed television program in US history.

American football, unlike European football, is a violent, militaristic game. The gist: Two teams of eleven muscular men in plastic armor pummel each other into oblivion as they march up and down the field capturing territory while trying to penetrate each others' “end zone.”

But this year's Super Bowl, scheduled for February 2nd, will have one redeeming feature: It will put the national spotlight on the rise of the 9/11 truth movement.

The Seattle Seahawks, who will be playing the Denver Broncos for the championship, are coached by a 9/11 truther, Pete Carroll. This fact has already begun to astonish the middlebrow world of mainstream American football audiences.
