Nessa (Kaepernick's Girlfriend) And Eric Reid Going In On Jay-Z For Partnering With The NFL
- Thread starter G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman
- Start date
The NFL is using Jay-Z to keep them abreast of potential issues revolving around social justice in their organization. They want to keep attracting there black audience and potential prospects who may reconsider becoming a NFL player if the organization it's so racist.
Jay-Z is there more to give the appearance of inclusion or tolerance genuine or not. The equivalent of my best friend is black.
Time will tell if the position is just paper the next time there's a racial issue in the NFL.
Jay-Z made a power-play and showed the NFL he can prevent popular "Urban" artists from performing at NFL events so they bought him.
Kaepernick showed the same thing to me
That he will put Justice aside for a paycheck which is why I feel he shouldn't be talkin about Jay-Z when they're kind of two peas in the same pod
Kaep hasn't put justice aside breh. He started a non profit and has been putting in work since he started it. The paycheck he got was for lost wages and the context of him getting the money is different than what Jay-Z just did.
If Kaep would've settled and left Eric Reid out of it after constantly praising him through Twitter, you'd have more of a point.
Point stands. Take it to the end. Making all that damn fuss to settle. Was dissapointing
But even more so, speaking on JayZ deal while you struggle to get rehired as a starter in the NFL
Broken record. Think I'm good
I agree, I wanted him to take it to the end. I wasn't one of the guys defending the settlement when it happened.
I think Kap and his people just look at it from the standpoint that Hov hopped on his movement, which led the NFL to wanting to fukk with Hov in the first place. None of this happens without Kap. And with Hov previously claiming to be on Kaps side while dissing the NFL, they figure Hov should've included Kap in this. The settlement doesn't mean Kap shouldn't get another shot to play in the league. He's not "struggling to get rehired". Struggling is what 75% of the NFL's starters already do every Sunday. He's been blackballed.
But he's really not a traditional passing qb
Who right now wants a QB who plays like Kaepernick, as a starter?
shyt even as a backup to a drop back passer he's not really a good option. You'd have to change you're whole offense just to bring his ass off the bench. That's why I feel a team that doesn't revolve around him, isn't a good fit for him, which is why I think he can't get in anywhere.
He'd have to backup Cam, Wilson or a Lamar Jackson.
And again, Seattle gave him a shot
But he's a starter........
The Jay z critique, from him, is a wash
You gave the NFL an out, we going back to business.
Roc nation events always have alot of black people working
Travis Scott performed and he is under the popular "Urban" artist.

People act like Kaep’s point of kneeling was against the NFL, it was to protest social injustice the entire time. It just so happened after he got released no team would sign him which in turn moved forward into a lawsuit against the NFL. Kaep has never said he didn’t want to play football in the league again, which was the whole point of the lawsuit. And then nikkas mad cause he won’t give you every detail of the deal?

Logic Is Absent Wherever Hate Is Present
I seen this coming a mile away. It was all good while Kaepernick kept a passive-aggressive stance and allow his camp speak for him in showcasing a mirage of a movement that basically didn't go anyway. Now here comes Jay-Z with his high profile, his public track record of actually doing social justice, whether it is from hiring lawyers to pay for that family that was held by gunpoint by the police a couple of months ago to having documentaries on social issues and everything in between such as dealing with prison reform deciding to join forces with the NFL and trying to push for social causes. Being that owners like Robert Kraft is already cool with Roc Nation and been instrumental in Meek's case, it was only soon that this was to occur. It's just funny how Kaep's camp is all in their feelings right now like why should THEY care what Jay-Z does business with, how and why? What Jay-Z does and his reason why he does it is his own to decide and live with. He doesn't need to speak to anyone for an approval, especially someone who's not been ASK vocal since he decided to became a free agent, which is Kaepernick.
That all said, I do believe that Jay-Z is a big sellout. But the main reason why I feel that he's a sellout is not because he so-called "betrayed" Kaepernick, he doesn't owe Kaepernick shyt. But rather because Jay-z was the main one that was pushing for a Superbowl half-time show boycott and got almost all the music industry to support it, and tried to shame Travis Scott when he agreed to perform and Travis Scott as well as Big Boi caught a lot of backlash from it. You cannot be taking such a huge stance and spark an actual industry movement to break the NFL in it's entertainment shares only to 6 to 8 months later be the face of trying to revive what he personally responsible in crippling. That's not only hypocritical, but a blatant act of selling out. The NFL knew what they are doing. They saw how powerful Jay-Z actually is to the industry and need him to be an ally instead of a foe and therefore reached out and broke bread with him.
But that, is NOT why the Kaepernick camp is upset. It's not due to basing it on principle. Had that been the based, Kaepernick would of long disassociated from Nike who's been playing both sides of the fence and profiteering on both sides. But those Nike checks look great. Not at all basing it on principle. Principle would of fought the NFL tooth and nail. Tom Brady, when the NFL attempted to destroy his legacy and suspended him from playing, fought and fought and fought the NFL the entire way to the very end. Took them to court and everything. And that's over something SMALL. Kaepernick, by comparison with what happened to him, with all the so-called evidence he claimed to have, did not hardly put up a fight. The very MOMENT the NFL offered him some money, he and Ed Reid took it and signed the NDA and the case was tossed out. No fight at all. And the IRONY if I recall this correctly was that the NFL, like they claimed for Jay-Z, included working with Kaepernick for some social causes.
I feel the real reason why Kaepernick's camp are upset was that the NFL approached them first in making such arguably FALSE PROMISES to them on deals of working with them in doing social causes and whatnot. Maybe even possibly finding him a team to play for. I remember those discussions when this was made of those rumors. And in the end NOTHING occurred. Next thing they see Jay-Z who they thought was part of Kaepernick's team, been working with charitable events with RocNation in the past and all of that, now joining forces with the NFL and making the same promises that were supposedly made for them, hence why they even would of agreed to a settlement and sign a NDA clause. With Jay-Z and the money he already has which is no matter what significantly larger than any money that was given to them from the settlement, is going to exploit how his efforts helped boost up social causes and make HIM the hero or face in getting the NFL to do positive things for the oppressed and producing social causes. They are more likely feeling that while Jay-Z over Kaepernick may get the applause, it'll undermine everything Kaepernick's so-called movement was about. And Jay-Z pretty much belittled it by saying that it's no longer about kneeling it is about action.
And this is where I hold Kaepernick accountable. Despite his smaller charitable and humanitarian deeds he done, which I may add that is nothing anything outside the ordinary from many pro athletes, his so-called movement was supposed to address the terrorism made by the police at black people and the oppression that black people, yet it been hyped now as Kaepernick's martyrdom. I think he enjoyed a bit too much the image of being a martyr than being a public effort, by comparison to what Jay-Z been doing, in taking actual action to combat against police terrorism and black oppression. Or been what Nipsey Hussle been about in making dramatic changes into urban neighborhoods, and Kaepernick has a significant more amount of money than Nip had, and could of joined with Nip in such causes like Jay-Z was going to do by reaching of to the LAPD the day before Nip was killed in trying to do something to correct the gang violence in LA. It's been his SILENCE that's been problematic and probably led to someone like Jay-Z to hijack the movement. Kaepernick had three years. And was mostly recluse and just mostly allow his camp to speak on his behalf like what's going on right now. And when Jay-Z puts it on BLAST the way he did as to how much MORE are we going to kneel before taking action...and the more Kaepernick continues to be passive aggressive about it... more people, are going to move away from Kaep and take Jay-Z's side simply because the old saying "actions speaks louder than words".
That all said, I do believe that Jay-Z is a big sellout. But the main reason why I feel that he's a sellout is not because he so-called "betrayed" Kaepernick, he doesn't owe Kaepernick shyt.
