Spike Lee just announced with ESPN that they're no longer doing Kaepernick's documentary.
00:00:06.600
And when they asked him, why are you not doing it?
00:00:08.820
He says, I signed a non-disclosure agreement or non-whatever it is that he can discuss it.
00:00:13.220
But also, you know, this weekend, I had a chance to go watch the latest movie that came up with Denzel and Spike Lee.
00:00:23.620
The two of them have done a bunch of different things together.
00:00:25.520
I think Spike and Denzel did, what movie did they do together?
00:00:33.920
And they did one other one together, four movies together.
00:00:38.340
This is probably Denzel's worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
00:00:49.240
The end part of it, there's a scene that's a very good scene between him and the rapper,
00:00:53.500
where they're sitting, you know, in the studio, they're going back and forth.
00:00:58.600
But this is probably Denzel's worst movie I've seen in my life with Spike Lee.
00:01:05.080
I actually don't think it was Denzel's typical personality for him to act in a movie like this.
00:01:10.860
He's showing range, but it was hands down the worst movie I've ever seen Denzel do, ever do.
00:01:28.080
And what's funny with Denzel is American Gangster, God knows how many times I've seen it.
00:01:33.340
John Q, I can't tell you how many times I've seen it.
00:01:36.040
Man on Fire, I can't tell you how many times I've seen it.
00:01:52.900
And you know, them not wanting to show it, because he said creative differences with ESPN.
00:01:59.560
And because, you know, yeah, they were going to focus on, they wanted him just to focus on Kaepernick,
00:02:03.680
but he was going to expand it into race and politics.
00:02:06.160
Either way, America is tired of that racial, race-baiting BS that's trying to divide us.
00:02:14.240
Okay, and I'm happy that it's not going to air.
00:02:16.360
And Kaepernick, it's like almost like every six months whenever Kaepernick wants to sell something,
00:02:20.720
he has to come back out and be like, hey, man, this country's racist.
00:02:28.140
Gosh, I wonder if creative differences has anything to do at all with the NFL owning 10% of ESPN.
00:02:33.840
Maybe they didn't want their part of the film portrayed in a certain way.
00:02:39.280
If you go back to it, and that's what I said, that's what I said.
00:02:44.960
However, having said that, maybe it's also saying we've got to get away from all this racist stuff that we keep insinuating.
00:02:52.900
The market just doesn't want to see it anymore.
00:02:55.680
And there's nobody that caused more chaos in sports than this guy.
00:02:59.560
You've got so much attention for it, but I'm kind of glad this project's not getting done.
00:03:06.320
I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, and what we're starting to see is Trump doesn't care what you call him at this point.
00:03:33.140
Get some of these illegal people out of this country.
00:03:35.000
How often do we see people in California who's the most liberal state saying, we need more conservative policies?
00:03:40.660
How many gay people do we see all the time being like, dude, this T thing, this trans thing is out of control.
00:03:46.660
So we're going to see more of these people who you would typically never hear give Trump compliments, start to say, that's my guy.
00:03:53.640
And just really fast, guys, because I saw this, Rob, you might want to look it up.
00:03:57.400
The NFL is continuing to feature anti-racism and inspirational messages in the end zones for 2025.
00:04:04.820
Each of the 32 teams will display one of the four approved messages at their home games, which is end racism.
00:04:16.360
I was super racist before I started reading those signs.
00:04:23.180
And on top of that, the NFL this year added male cheerleaders.
00:04:46.500
So they're kind of doing what they're doing, and he comes in out of nowhere.
00:04:56.580
Every time you think the NFL is going back to normality, they do something like this.
00:05:06.280
You think people are coming to the NFL to watch male cheerleaders?
00:05:12.700
Do you think men who, like other men, are diehard fans of the NFL?
00:05:19.100
Do you think they're coming and saying, I want to see male?
00:05:20.900
And if that's the case and you're targeting a 1%, what are you going to be doing next?
00:05:27.120
Look, there are some guys that you see that like NFL, but at the same time, that's not
00:05:51.920
So in college football games, they're actually male cheerleaders.
00:05:58.460
And they're throwing girls up in the air and they're catching them.
00:06:01.460
They don't pretend to be the girls with the pom-poms.
00:06:06.340
By the way, we've had executives and have executives who were male cheerleaders that hold the girls
00:06:15.000
To go to this direction, to me, my opinion, I don't know, man.
00:06:23.740
There's a lot of things that's going on right now in the marketplace.
00:06:25.900
