Towards the end of his NFL career as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Kaepernick knelt during football games in protest of police brutality against minorities. The athlete played his final game in 2017 and has not received another contract offer despite visits with the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders.

Spike Lee told Business Insider that he has no plans to try to bring his Colin Kaepernick docuseries elsewhere after it was scrapped at ESPN.
