ESPN Won't Release Spike Lee's Documentary About exiled NFL star Colin Kaepernick
Director Spike Lee's documentary series for ESPN about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick will not be released, the filmmaker and ESPN said.
The former
San Francisco 49ers quarterback sparked a national debate when he protested racial injustice nearly a decade ago and has not played in the NFL since.
'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.
'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.
