Clay Travis has offered Colin Kaepernick $2 million to sit for a one-hour interview with him. The proposal came during Friday’s edition of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.
What We Know: Travis discussed Kaepernick while responding to comments comparing aspects of the NFL Combine process to slavery. Kaepernick and former NFL player Ryan Clark have drawn attention for their discussion of the league’s scouting process. The conversation also follows renewed media attention surrounding Kaepernick and his new book.
What They Said: “If I could pick one person to be able to do a sit-down interview with, it would be Colin Kaepernick. I think if Colin Kaepernick talked to me for 30 minutes, his entire career as a spokesperson for left-wing politics mixed with sports would be over. I don’t think he could make it 30 minutes with me … This is always a little bit dangerous when I have live thoughts while on shows such as these. But, Colin Kaepernick, I will pay you $1 million cash to sit with me for 30 minutes straight, answering any question that I deem fit to ask. You know what? I want to expand it. One hour, and I’ll double it. $2 million from me, Colin Kaepernick, if you will sit for a one-hour interview where I can ask you every question under the sun, and you will answer. $2 million from me to you. I’m sure, you need the money. $2 million for a one-hour, no-questions-off-limits sit-down interview.” -Clay Travis
What Remains Unclear: Clay Travis didn’t specify whether the proposed interview would air on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show or through another outlet. Likewise, there has been no indication that Kaepernick has accepted the proposal or agreed to participate.
What It Means: Travis’ offer puts a potential long-form interview between the two in the spotlight. However, the proposal remains just that unless Kaepernick responds or the two sides arrange an interview.
