The former 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, has been no stranger to controversies over the years. However, it all began when he kneeled during the national anthem in 2016. This act made other teams wary of recruiting him, leaving the NFL star to roam the realm of free agency to this day. However, the former QB didn’t let adversity bring him down, as he continued to shine off the field, lending his helping hands to the community.

Recently, the quarterback-turned-social activist unveiled his own graphic novel, delving into how his childhood experiences shaped his journey. From his struggles in choosing sports to pursue to his unique style that he fought to embrace, his story has deeply resonated with the audience. This impactful release came just a month before his anticipated return to football.

Colin Kaepernick’s heartbreaking story about his identity

The graphic novel titled “Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game” was released back in March and currently holds a 4.6 rating on Amazon. The novel delves into the star QB’s childhood, revealing how he embraced his true self despite showering doubts from others. The story on page 12 starts with Colin’s adoptive white father asking him to tag along for a haircut. However, the youngster declines and instead expresses his desire to let his hair grow and have cornrows. The parents become awfully surprised by the term and also their kid’s unconventional choice.

The story progresses as Colin grows out his hair, facing dislike from others. The thought bubbles on that page show people even labeling him as a ‘Clown.’ Though disappointed, Colin chooses to embrace his choice with determination. He adds that over time, people grew tired of arguing with him and stopped. Later pages show how he fulfills his wish for cornrows with a friend’s help, bringing him immense joy. He reflects, “This was shaping up to be the greatest day of my life.”
