Spike Lee's documentary on Colin Kaepernick was scrapped, but the decision had NOTHING to do with pressure from the NFL, ESPN's longtime business partner, sources tell TMZ Sports.
The news initially broke over the weekend when the award-winning filmmaker was asked about the project while walking a red carpet, saying, "It's not coming out. That's all I can tell you."
Soon after, Lee and the network released a joint statement, citing "certain creative differences" as the reason for cutting bait.
