Colin Kaepernick | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Colin Kaepernick walks around the SoHo neighborhood on Monday afternoon (September 14) in New York City.

The 32-year-old football player was spotted just days after the NFL’s new season began and he still is not playing for a team.

Colin hasn’t played a football game in nearly four years after he launched a peaceful protest against police brutality and racial inequality by simply kneeling during the national anthem. He filed a grievance against the NFL in 2017 for colluding to keep him out of the league and he received a confidential settlement in early 2019. His protests against racism and police brutality have continued and he still hasn’t been signed by a pro football team.

This past weekend, Colin accused the NFL of running “propaganda about how they care about Black Life” while his former teammate Eric Reid is being blackballed as well.

“While the NFL runs propaganda about how they care about Black Life, they are still actively blackballing Eric Reid (@E_Reid35) for fighting for the Black community. Eric set 2 franchise records last year, and is one of the best defensive players in the league,” Colin tweeted.

Colin Kaepernick is linking up with Disney for a brand new docuseries.

The project will chronicle his journey from San Francisco 49ers quarterback to activist, according to a release, and will feature new interviews as well as never-seen-before archival footage following the football star in the most recent years of his life.

“I am excited for this partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers & producers,” Colin shared in a tweet about the project. “I look forward to sharing culturally impactful and inspiring projects.”

Colin will also serve as an executive producer on the ESPN show.

The announcement follows the news that Ava DuVernay is also making a limited series based on Colin‘s life as a teen.

That six-episode series will go to Netflix and will focus on his “formative high school years, lending meaningful insight into the acts and experiences” that led to his efforts to fight police brutality and systemic racism.

Colin Kaepernick’s life is being turned into a scripted series for Netflix and Ava DuVernay is executive producing the project!

Colin in Black & White will be a six-episode series focusing on the football player’s “early life as a Black child growing up with a white adopted family and his journey to become a great quarterback while defining his identity,” according to Variety.

In a statement, Colin said, “Too often we see race and Black stories portrayed through a white lens. We seek to give new perspective to the differing realities that Black people face. We explore the racial conflicts I faced as an adopted Black man in a white community, during my high school years. It’s an honor to bring these stories to life in collaboration with Ava for the world to see.”

The series has already been written and Colin is set to provide narration for the project.

Ava said, “With his act of protest, Colin Kaepernick ignited a national conversation about race and justice with far-reaching consequences for football, culture and for him, personally. Colin’s story has much to say about identity, sports and the enduring spirit of protest and resilience. I couldn’t be happier than to tell this story with the team at Netflix.”

This is Ava’s fourth project at Netflix, following When They See Us, 13th, and her upcoming documentary about the late Nipsey Hussle.

Twitter’s CEO is helping Colin Kaepernick‘s cause.

Jack Dorsey made a $3 million donation on Wednesday (June 3) to the 32-year-old former NFL quarterback’s Know Your Rights Camp, a fund he started to pay legal fees for protestors who get arrested while fighting for justice for George Floyd.

“$3mm to Colin @Kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization to elevate the next generation of change leaders,” the 43-year-old CEO wrote on Twitter.

Just a few days ago, Colin‘s Know Your Rights Camp launched their new fund called the Legal Defense Initiative, which is aimed at providing resources and assistance to protestors in Minneapolis and other cities that have participated in demonstrations.

Jack‘s donation to Colin‘s fund comes after he donated $1 billion to COVID-19 relief efforts.

Colin Kaepernick is showing his support for the Black Lives Matter protesters in Minneapolis following the tragic death of George Floyd in the Minnesota city that sparked outrage online this week.

The former San Francisco 49ers football player took to social media while watching what was happening.

“When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction,” he wrote. “The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance. We have the right to fight back! Rest in Power George Floyd.”

Later in another tweet, Colin revealed that the formation of a legal defense initiative for protesters in Minneapolis that was funded by the Know Your Rights Camp, an organization he founded.

“In fighting for liberation there’s always retaliation,” Colin shared. “We must protect our Freedom Fighters. We started a legal defense initiative to give legal representation to Freedom Fighters in Minneapolis paid for by @yourrightscamp.”

Colin made headlines in 2016 after refusing to stand during the national anthem in protest against police brutality and racial injustice in the United States. It sparked outrage among football fans in the country and also started the #TakeAKnee movement.
