It's all over the pro-football world, at blogs and sites catering to Joe Sixpack. Pete Carroll is not only a 9/11 truther, but a fearless one. Kevin Barrett writes:

Last spring, Carroll grilled four-star general, Peter Chiarelli – who had just retired as the US Army's Vice Chief of Staff – about whether 9/11 was an inside job. Carroll expressed skepticism about whether an airliner really hit the Pentagon, and apparently also remarked on the obvious controlled demolition of World Trade Center Building 7, and the only slightly less-obvious explosive demolitions of the Twin Towers: “Every 9/11 conspiracy theory you can think of, Pete asked about," said Riki Ellison, an ex-football player turned military advocate who was present at the meeting.

Gen. Chiarelli was understandably annoyed by Carroll's questions about 9/11. Obviously the general could not publicly deviate from the official story of 9/11 without endangering his career – and perhaps his life. So Carroll was basically forcing Chiarelli to lie. By confronting Chiarelli about the all-too-obvious 9/11 inside job – the biggest barrel of political dynamite in US history – Pete Carroll became an honorary member of We Are Change, an activist group that specializes in guerrilla video “interviews” with suspected 9/11 cover-up criminals and traitors.

In pro-sports-crazy America, sports idols are a dangerous Rubicon for dissent to cross over into, as the suspicious death of Pat Tillman, who had openly turned against the Iraq War, suggests. These athletes and millionaire field generals living the dream of a good part of the male population tend to be blunt men's men, speaking the language of the dead center of the political spectrum.

A case in point this remarkable interview with former Dallas Cowboy and 9/11 Truther Mark Stepnoski.
