‘Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game‘ will primarily focus on Kaepernick’s time at school and the problems he faced. As a teenager, the Nevada alumni was a great Baseball pitcher and played pro football at times.
However, by the end of high school, he had a decision to make as to which game he must pursue in his career. Kaepernick was a talented pitcher, while he was scouted by colleges and major league baseball. His teachers, friends, and family thought this sport was something he would carry forward. But he was not interested in the game at all.

The description of his new book has a specific reason for it. He quoted MLB legend Adam Jones’ saying, “baseball is a white man’s sport.” According to him, pursuing football helped him better express his culture and lifestyle in front of the people.
Colin Kaepernick says football gave him real opportunities in life
This might be one of the reasons why Kaepernick is making desperate attempts to enter the NFL. Football has always been something that remained close to his heart, leaving his Baseball fantasies right away at high school.
“(Baseball) would force me into spaces where I would face open racism and have fewer resources of cultural support.” Football, on the other hand, would “provide me with real opportunities to fully embrace my culture, identity, and community.” he added to his statements.
