Kaepernick buys pizzas for the media

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn't played a snap of football since the 2016 season. He has been busy, though, working to generate more awareness surrounding racism and social injustice. Netflix announced last week that it is working on a six-episode series with Kaepernick called "Colin in Black & White," which focuses on the high school life of the former 49ers quarterback. Now, Kaepernick has another platform with which to work. He has teamed up with ESPN and The Walt Disney Co. to create an exclusive docuseries that will focus on telling scripted and unscripted stories that explore race, social injustice, and the quest for equity,

Just bringing up Colin Kaepernick's name can still evoke strong emotions from different people.

The nation has a better understanding of why Kaepernick was so passionate about the cause.

Although, he remains active in his efforts to bring about awareness of social injustice
