ESPN cancels collaboration with Spike Lee on Colin Kaepernick docuseries, both parties confirm
Director Spike Lee’s documentary series for ESPN Films about Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who protested racial injustice, will not be released due to creative differences. Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem in 2016 sparked a national debate, and he has not played in the league since then. The series, which was set to provide a first-person account of Kaepernick’s journey, faced delays and disagreements between Lee and Kaepernick over the film’s direction. ESPN’s decision to drop the series comes amid a political climate where diversity initiatives are being challenged, underlining the complexities surrounding Kaepernick’s activism.
