Just Weeks After Wanting NFL to Give Him Another Chance, Kaepernick Compares the League to Actual Slavery

After first saying he wanted to get back on the field, a new Colin Kaepernick special likens the NFL’s draft to slave auctions.

“In the mind of Colin Kaepernick, being a multi-millionaire athlete is like being a slave,” David Hookstead wrote in an Op-Ed on the Daily Caller.

A social media clip from the show illustrates why.

“What they don’t want you to understand is what’s being established is a power dynamic,” the former San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback says in a clip from the fawning Netflix glorification of all things Kaepernick titled “Colin in Black and White.”

“Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that might affect your performance,” he said.

“No boundary respect. No dignity left intact,” Kaepernick said, implying the teams are wrong to fully investigate the abilities of those upon whom they will spend millions.

Actors then pass by the narrating Kaepernick before they become slaves in a field being inspected by slave owners before an auction.

Although Kaepernick, 33, has not played in the NFL since 2016, he claims he is still training and ready for the call, according to a CBS review of his comments earlier in October.

“I am still up at 5 a.m. training five, six days a week making sure I’m prepared to take a team to a Super Bowl again,” Kaepernick said in one interview with Ebony.
