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.”

The new president is a child raping shit bag and a racist, so now the story of someone who exercised a fundamental right and got 'cancelled' for it, is no longer of interest.

If all the media outlets weren’t owned by a handful of conglomerates, Lee could have shopped this around to someone else.
