Former NFL quarterback, now a worldwide icon because of his activism and protest against racial injustice, Collin Kaepernick is coming out with a new biography, according to Rebecca Clarke of the NY Times. This biography will fully capture his journey-from his upward trajectory within the NFL to his continued fight for social justice, along with all the challenges he's encountered since being blacklisted by the league.
Setting the Record Straight on Business Enterprises
In 2016, when Colin kneeled during the national anthem, he drew a lot of criticism on himself and a consecutive ban from NFL. However, he also drew partnership and activism opportunities. One of the most famous collaborations he made was with Nike, which used the phrase "Just Do It" campaign-all for his cause and stand on racial inequality. There have been many who have misinterpreted the business affair Kaepernick has in relation to Nike and other businesses associated with the activism. In his soon-to-be-released biography, he lets everyone in on the truth behind his partnerships and what that truly means in line with his personal mission.

How NFL Players InvestWaiting for an NFL Call
Even though Kaepernick has that kind of potential, he is yet to find himself unsigned by any of the NFL teams since the 2016 season. His exclusion from the league is a subject that started with controversy but resurfaced as a matter of resilience. This is a man who did not budge on his principles to end the protest; he has been blacklisted by the NFL as a result of his performances on the pitch. Thousands of fans and critics are eagerly awaiting his return to the league, while others do not believe he will ever get another chance to play.
A Story of Activism, Resilience, and Truth
His biography will be a mix of things, particularly not just his football career but also an insightful understanding of his activism and personal philosophies and the reason for his protest. The opportunity to hear his side of the story presents itself, which was so badly misrepresented or oversimplified. By sharing his truth, Kaepernick hopes to clarify and inspire others who, like him, seek to make a difference in the world.
