Disney Teams With Kaepernick in Ex-NFL Star’s Latest Media Deal
- Move follows earlier agreements with Netflix and Medium
- Kaepernick has become civil-rights leader since leaving NFL
Walt Disney Co. will produce a series about the life of football player and activist Colin Kaepernick, part of a new overall deal between the media giant and the quarterback.
Disney will get first crack at new projects from Kaepernick’s Ra Vision Media, which produces work that explores race and social injustice. That will begin with the project about Kaepernick’s own life, that of a star athlete turned civil-rights activist.
