Colin Kaepernick's Life to Become Netflix Series From Ava DuVernay
'Colin in Black & White' will tell the story of the athlete and activist's adolescent life.
Colin Kaepernick's formative years are becoming a Netflix series.
The athlete and activist is teaming with Ava DuVernay for Colin in Black & White, a scripted limited drama that has been picked up straight to series at the streaming giant.
The six-episode series will examine Kaepernick's adolescent life, focusing on his high school years and the acts and experiences that led him to become the activist he is today. Kaepernick will appear as himself as the narrator of the series, which will cast an actor to play the younger version of the star quarterback.
Kaepernick in 2016 protested racial injustice, police brutality and systematic oppression when he kneeled during the national anthem ahead of a San Francisco 49ers game. His act of protest was, at the time, considered polarizing with both NFL officials and fans, eventually drawing the ire of President Trump, who urged team owners to fire players who protest during the national anthem. Kaepernick became a free agent in 2017 and filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its owners, alleging that they colluded to keep him out of the league. He remains a free agent. More recently, in the wake of George Floyd's killing at the hands of Minnesota police, Kaepernick has become another face of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Only a matter of time before he was deified. This Ava DuVernay by the way, is the same one who made the fictitious Central park 5 movie “When they see us” in which she is currently being sued by prosecutor Linda Fairstein for defamation so I expect this series will contain just as much BS.........https://variety.com/2020/biz/news/central-park-five-linda-fairstein-sues-netflix-ava-duvernay-1203538010/
Moderator, can you change the link? I think I put the wrong one up...It’s this.......
Series title “Racebaiter”
or
“How I tried to race guilt my way back into the NFL”
“I wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t smart enough, and people didn’t really like me”
Will have a minus ten million viewers.

How he was abandoned by his black and Hispanic parents, adopted by a Christian white family, only to spit in their face when he finally snagged some hot Muzzie poon.
Is he really that interesting?
Yes I asked the mod to change it, sorry, it’s this.......
DuVernay couldn’t direct her way out of a wet paper bag, and is the foremost example of Black Privilege in Hollywood so far.
Is Netflix the commie/muslim laundromat for paying off anti-Americans - like Obama and now this $hit?
a story about the passing skills of Nathan Peterman would be more interesting.
The Marxists are trying, they gave his commercial an Emmy.......
Wow, I am so disinterested.
I think I’ve already seen a lot of clips from it. It was called “Football Follies” or something like that and it had all kinds of comedic antics that you’d expect from a team that went for 2 Wins and 14 Losses.
Drafted. Threw some TD passes. Then threw very few TD passes. Took a knee. That covers about 15 minutes.
Hip waders will be woefully insufficient. We’ll be needing deep water diving gear when this gets released
