Colin Kaepernick on The Perilous Fight, the NFL, Roc Nation and Jay Z & What It Cost Him

DETROIT

Colin Kaepernick sits down with Storehouse & Friends Host Tamira Chapman for a candid conversation about the life behind the headlines and his new memoir, The Perilous Fight. Ten years after his protest became one of the defining moments in modern American sports and culture, Kaepernick reflects on the experiences that shaped him, the decision to protest, the consequences that followed and why he says he still trains for an NFL return.

But this conversation goes places you may not expect. Kaepernick shares stories about becoming a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and the support he has received from the Divine Nine; how Allen Iverson inspired his first braids and the unforgettable night that followed; the 12-hour FaceTime call when he realized Nessa was “the one”; and how her gift of The Autobiography of Malcolm X changed his life. He also recounts, in his own words, his experiences with Jay Z and Roc Nation, including a meeting where he says the conversation turned to refrigerators, Skittles and the Black Panther Party; his relationship with Nike; and why he says he walked away from a seven-figure, multiyear opportunity with Gucci. The conversation ultimately returns to the choice that changed everything: the knee, the NFL career that followed, the financial and personal cost of conviction, fatherhood and what Kaepernick believes we owe the generation watching us now.
