Colin Kaepernick isn’t done ripping down the NFL.

Former QB Colin Kaepernick continued his hatred for the NFL and league operations as he compared the NFL training camp to slavery in his Netflix special.

In the video he states that the NFL creates a power dynamic, “They poke, prod, and examine you. Searching for any defect that might affect your performance.” Kaepernick added “no dignity left intact.”

The scene then shifts to a mock slave auction with the athletes on camera.

Here is the official trailer for Kaepernick’s special, Colin in Black and White which premiered on October 29th.

It is quite the statement from someone who made a small fortune during his time in the NFL. No money is not always worth it, but it has definitely given him his platform which Kaepernick has been quick to use over the last couple years.

Some of these scenes will no doubt spark many debates.
