A clip from the former football quarterback’s new show – Colin in Black & White – has gone viral and caused a social media frenzy to erupt as the 33-year-old attempts to draw similarities between scrutiny players receive from coaches to that of slavers.
In the clip, Kaepernick – who earned more than $40million during his time in the NFL – says players were left with “no dignity intact” by coaches and scouts.
“What they don’t want you to understand is what’s being established is a power dynamic,” Kaepernick says in the special while walking through a staged NFL practice field.
