ESPN will create a docuseries chronicling Colin Kaepernick as part of a first-look contract with the Walt Disney Company, Disney announced Monday.
The partnership with Kaepernick's production company, Ra Vision Media, will focus on creating scripted and unscripted stories that explore race and social injustice.
Disney's executive chairman, Bob Iger, explained the deal in a statement:
"During this unprecedented time, The Walt Disney Company remains committed to creating diverse and inclusive content that resonates and matters. Colin's experience gives him a unique perspective on the intersection of sports, culture and race, which will undoubtedly create compelling stories that will educate, enlighten and entertain, and we look forward to working with him on this important collaboration."

Unreal...
The oppression is insurmountable.
Wow. Unbelievable.
It’s interesting how a marginal quarterback gets this far in life, and seems to be obsessed on portraying himself as some victim.
Wow .... disney folks used every SJW term in their vocabulary ... remarkable. /S
Disney evidently agrees that Independence Day is a white supremacist holiday.
It’s my strong belief that Iger is one of the generals of this insurrection.
Hate America, get rich.
Disney’s answer to everything...buy it.
so guess he isnt going back to football
Would agree 100%.
Will they start with racism by Castro and company?
Being a victim pays and takes zero talent.
Also agrees in protecting pedophiles
He is the new Rev Sharpton/Jesse Jackson.
The shakedown artist of this generation.
To anyone on FR who is still paying a monthly cable bundle and thus funding ESPN and CNN - why don’t you write a nice big monthly check to ActBlue while you’re at it?
There are plenty of ways to get TV programming that don’t directly fund these outlets, and lots of other things to watch on a Sunday besides the NFL and Nascar. As soon as the rest of us start voting with our feet either this nonsense will stop or these companies will go out of business.
Oh. I thought Kappy was going to be the voice of Dopey in a Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs remake.
At what point do we point out that they are perpetuating turmoil for profit rather than altruism?
These companies are completely exploitative.
One day they will wake up and regret what they are doing.
To Disney, ESPN, NFL and the rest: KMA in the town square at high noon.
