Colin Kaepernick used a couple of Jay-Z's words in a tweet Sunday praising NFL players who continue to kneel in protest.
If the resources of the NFL are utilized to improve the lives of minorities, does it really matter if Jay-Z and league are making money on top of it?Jay-Z also said he had a discussion with Kaepernick regarding the deal, leading the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback’s girlfriend, Nessa, to
: “THIS is a lie. COLIN never spoke to Jay-Z and NFL ahead of that deal being done. They NEVER included him in any discussion.”. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but they apparently didn’t include any language to prevent the men from speaking out about the situation.last week: “Jay-Z knowingly made a money move with the very people who’ve committed an injustice against Colin and is using social justice to smooth it over with the black community.
He also told reporters this weekend: “When has Jay-Z ever taken a knee to tell us we’re past kneeling? Yes, he’s done a lot of great work. A lot of great social justice work. But for you to get paid to go into an NFL press conference and say that we’re past kneeling? Again, asinine.”
