During the short trailer, AB states, “Colin Kaepernick is not from the hood. He is not even from the receiving department… I don’t even want to mention his name. What is Colin Kaepernick doing? Where’s he at right now?… I’m on the streets outside every day!… Yeah, they let him play football and let him get commercials.”
