Douchebag

I hope the story does try to pretend he was a great quarterback. He did start the kneeling and forced the world to recognize injustices, but great quarterback... Na.

Back when Kaepernick like being half white Now he hates his white half Shouldn't they start now A half *** QB that went from 1st to 3rd Then he took a knee Just another puss that can't give it Up

Don’t care

Hopefully his career doesn’t tank like kaeperni is

He better start learning how to suck at football.

Get up or get down? 🧐🧐🧐

Colin who?

💩

Oh, forgot to say, there will be a lot of haters on this feed🙄 Sickening 🤮

I HAVEN'T WATCHED SPORTS SINCE KAPERDICK TOOK HIS FIRST KNEE AND WON'T UNTIL THOSE LITTLE BOYS GROW UP AND RESPECT OUR FLAG AND NATIONAL AMTHEM!!

now they gotta cast his white parents. The source of all his bitter twisted hateful confusions & desperation for black acceptance.

I can't wait to watch!!

Obvious prediction - nobody will watch this garbage

Probably has a better arm.

Who gives a fuk

Won’t be watching...

Thank GOD I don’t pay for Netflix

Dallas needs to sign Kaepernick yesterday!!

So this is really a thing? Wow. Anything can get greenlit today.

Oh please they don't even tiny bit look like each other, omg

🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

If they really want to waste money they could put it to good use like reform and helping to fix some of the social injustices instead of a series on that clown.... like Colin who?

I work with a guy, whos daughter went to high school with him. I wonder if the TV show will be an accurate depiction of what a scum bag she says that he was.

Colin Kaepernick is the modern day MLK. Colin has done so much for the black community I cant wait for the statue's and street names. Thank you NETFLIX for the brave controversial stance against racism in 2020.

This must be a real short series this man has an accomplished shit over the years

lmao garbage

In his adoptive home with his privileged racist parents who raised him?

Will it cover his white privileged years

What’s the title? I’m a fake ass privileged piece of shit?

A sellout Just wanted a pay day He doesn’t actually care about “justice”

Holy shit a whole series

colin kaepernick is a racist against white people even though he was raised by white people
