ESPN has scrapped Spike Lee’s docuseries on Colin Kaepernick due to creative differences. Learn about the project’s halt.

Much like its subject, Spike Lee's eight-episode series about the shadow-banned sports star won't be hitting the field any time soon.

Kaepernick reportedly wanted the docuseries to focus more on his career, while Lee wanted the story to cover cultural issues including social justice and police brutality.
