Colin Kaepernick Documentary Not Coming Out

Last month former NFL player Colin Kaepernick's outspoken wife, radio host Nessa Diab, claimed that Colin's new documentary would expose Jay Z and Roc Nation for sabotaging Colin's efforts to get back in the NFL, after he was blacklisted for kneeling during the National Anthem to protest police brutality [click here if you missed that].

Now the documentary has been shelved...

Director Spike Lee's multi-part documentary series for ESPN Films about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a national debate when he protested racial injustice nearly a decade ago, will not be released, the filmmaker and ESPN said.

"ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences," ESPN said in a statement to Reuters on Saturday.

"Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film." Lee told Reuters on Friday that the series was not going to be released.

"It's not coming out. That's all I can say," Lee said on the red carpet ahead of the Harold and Carole Pump Foundation dinner, a fundraiser for cancer research and treatment, in Beverly Hills, California.

Asked why, the Oscar-winning director declined to elaborate, citing a nondisclosure agreement. "I can't. I signed a nondisclosure. I can't talk about it."
