THE PERILOUS FIGHT, is available for pre-order NOW.

I enjoyed my conversation with Trevor. Thank you for taking the time to discuss my memoir and allowing me to share more about my life and personal experiences.
This and more in my new book THE PERILOUS FIGHT - out now.
Colin Kaepernick explains that sometimes real leadership means stepping back so others can step forward.
Because if a movement depends on one person, discrediting that person can become a way to attack everything they stand for.
Watch the full episode for a deeper conversation.

Colin Kaepernick loves football—deeply. The game itself, the camaraderie, the dedication, the sacrifice—those things still mean everything to him. But his relationship with the institution of the NFL is a very different story.
For @Kaepernick7, this isn’t about losing love for football. It’s about a moral and ethical disconnect with an institution—and the individuals he believes blackballed him. He can love the game and still have serious questions about the league that governs it.

On Thursday, I sat down with @Kaepernick7 for #TAF26. Here’s our full conversation, which covered his protest, the lack of player response, why he changed his mind about voting and whether or not he’d consider running for political office youtu.be/_-CZtcEN9r0?si=ZzFP…

Colin Kaepernick once believed Jay-Z could be an ally. But by the time the two finally spoke, Jay-Z’s deal with the NFL was already done.
A leaked recording from a 2017 owners meeting captured Bills owner Terry Pegula saying the league needed a Black figure to help address the protests. @kaepernick7 believes Jay-Z ultimately became that figure—using his enormous cultural influence to help the NFL move beyond the protest without addressing its core demands.

Colin Kaepernick thought the legal process would expose the truth. Then he learned it was confidential.
He explains why the process itself changed the options available to him.

Thank you, Janice, for taking the time to speak with me about my memoir and journey. I appreciate it.
🔁 @DrJaniceGassam It was an honor to sit down with @kaepernick7 for an interview about his new memoir, “The Perilous Fight,” the courage and bravery it took for him to continue kneeling to protest racial injustice and why it’s so important to focus on what we stand to lose by remaining silent and accepting the status quo.
Grateful that people like Colin, that are willing to risk it all for a better tomorrow, exist (though few and far between.)
The link to the full piece is in my bio.
Can’t wait to read Colin’s new book 👏🏽

“The organization and institution are misaligned morally and ethically with who I believe I am…” @kaepernick7
Beyond the headlines. Beyond the jersey. Beyond the kneeling…we have a conversation to learn about the man, the values and the journey that led to His most pivotal moment. We get into life after the NFL, his upbringing, fatherhood and how this next chapter of his life is yet to be written…
Full episode out on @netflix now and all audio platforms #nfl #colinkaepernick #podcast #sports #netflix @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

Colin Kaepernick experienced racism at a young age. He was tied to a rose tree and called a “n*gger”. A neighbor happened to pass by and stopped it—but the damage was already done.
What made it even harder? Race wasn’t something they talked about at home. @Kaepernick7 had experienced something he didn’t have the language—or the space—to process. There was nowhere for him to show up as his full self, be heard, and understand what had happened to him.

I asked @Kaepernick7 when fear stopped mattering to him.
His answer: “Two moments where I almost died.”
“One was spinning out on the highway, almost going off a cliff… but the one that really became a defining moment was in college when I looked down a gun barrel that killed three other people that night.”
“That became a moment where I felt like I’m here for a purpose.”
Full interview coming soon on exclusively Youtube: youtube.com/@realtalkwithmj7…
