In part 3 of 3 of Colin Kaepernick and Nessa’s first interview, Colin gives his account of Jay-Z’s partnership with the NFL and what he says happened privately before the deal was announced. He discusses his conversations with Jay-Z, the NFL’s social-justice initiatives and why he and Eric Reid declined an opportunity connected to them.
Colin also breaks down how the controversial NFL workout came together, Jay-Z’s reported role, why he refused to sign the NFL’s waiver and what happened afterward. He addresses whether he still wants to play football and why he would return to the NFL despite everything that happened.
The conversation then gets personal as Colin opens up about The Perilous Fight, fatherhood, what he wants his daughter to learn from his story and what he believes people misunderstand about him. He reflects on the impact the last decade has had on Nessa, Eric Reid and other players who protested, how he has maintained joy and peace through it all, and the emotional toll his journey has had on the people closest to him.
Colin Kaepernick’s memoir The Perilous Fight is out now.

After that speech, Booker T became the most powerful Black man in America. The speech also confused Black folks; many felt he sold out his people's fight for human rights in exchange for racial peace and economic stability. Today, the speech is known as the "1895 Atlanta Compromise" (you can look it up).
Jay-Z's "we're past kneeling" press conference was the modern-day version of that compromise speech. It should also be noted: Booker T's speech help raised massive money from white philanthropist of his time to his Tuskegee Institute. Jay's press conference helped put money in his brand Roc Nation's pocket and gave him ultimate control of the Super Bowl Halftime show.
