High school star athlete Colin Kaepernick is at a crossroads in life. Heavily scouted by colleges and Major League Baseball (MLB) as a baseball pitcher, he has a bright future ahead of him. Everyone from his parents to his teachers and coaches are in agreement on his future.
Colin feels differently.
Colin isn't excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star MLB player Adam Jones, 'Baseball is a white man's game.' Colin looks up to athletes like Allen Iverson: talented, hyper-competitive, unapologetically Black, and dominating their sports while staying true to themselves.
College football looks a lot more fun than sleeping on hotel room floors in the minor leagues of baseball. But Colin doesn't have a single offer to play football. Yet.
