His sitting and then kneeling during the national anthem caused an uproar among fans and certain segments of the media, with the gesture being blamed for declining TV ratings and slumping attendance. Kaepernick opted-out of the last year of his contract with the 49ers and became a free agent, but was not signed by any team. He sued the league for collusion and settled, but has still not found another playing opportunity.
“My protest was the culmination of years of thought and experiences, of learning and unlearning,” said Kaepernick. “I want to tell the story of my evolution, and the events that led me to protest systemic oppression, in hopes that it will inspire others to rise in action,. I am excited that through this groundbreaking partnership between Kaepernick Publishing and Audible, we can elevate Black and Brown voices who can empower future generations.
Rachel Ghiazza, SVP Content Acquisition and Development, Audible, said that the Kaepernick book “takes listeners through the pivotal moments and experiences that inspired a national debate and cultural movement.” Kaepernick claims he founded his own publishing company to reinforce the importance of black ownership, which will extend to the authors, writers and creators with whom Kaepernick Publishing works. Kaepernick Publishing’s stated aim is to give power to black and brown voices globally, offering ownership options to collaborators, and bring greater diversity and representation to literature and spoken word.
Kaepernick Publishing will be in partnership with Melcher Media, with distribution by Two Rivers Distribution, an Ingram Brand.
