Nessa (Kaepernick's Girlfriend) And Eric Reid Going In On Jay-Z For Partnering With The NFL

[Lord-Yosh]

More than likely, Mark Geragos, Colin's lawyer, told him that they didn't have enough evidence to prove
lawful collusion by the NFL owners, so in order for a very large legal bill to be paid to him, he highly encouraged
Colin to settle with the League.

It should be noted that historically, both Muhammad Ali and Curt flood took their legal disputes all the way to the Supreme Court.

Kap never said he'd stop kneeling...Schefter said that.

Schefty was reporting what was told to him. And Schefty rarely, very rarely report misleading or wrong information. If it came from him, it was a valid statement.

Schefter has no line on Kap, the only guy in the media Kap talk to is Shannon.

Quietly buy a team like he wanted too for his own personal benefit instead of using his fame as "social injustice " pr to tap dance for NFL white racist fans and team owners .

Describe the plans roc Nation has in place to move the conversation forward, from awareness to tangible action, which is what we are here for right? Oh you don't know yet?

All facts. Even as trivial and petty, Tom Brady too it almost to the Supreme Court when he fought for his suspension.


Would Tom Brady have won in the Supreme Court? - National Constitution Center


And that was over a damn deflated football. Yet, it was the PRINCIPLE of it and he fought tooth and nail as far as he could. And that's my whole gripe. I understand that it was Mark Geragos that arguably pushed for the settlement. I never liked him anyway. He looked like an ambulance lawyer, I mean immediately after negotiating the settlement he dipped to be Jussie Smollett's lawyer and he was caught up in that Nike extortion controversy with Avenetti. So, it is hard to feel empathy. Had Kaepernick had a team of Black lawyers, some actual civil rights attorney activists instead of a high profile celebrity lawyer, I would be certain that grievance would of been taken to court to the full max and it is win or lose from there but at least he can say he fought. The whole settlement to this day still makes it uneasy and hard for him to continue his message against the NFL. But that's my opinion.

Still waiting on someone to tell me what the correct next step was supposed to be, outside of kaep getting a job.. The faux outrage is hilarious

* Public apology from the NFL in regards to lack of empathy towards the social views of their players.

* Public condemnation of Trump for calling the mothers of NFL Players "bytches".

* An actual breakdown of the particular issues they want to address, a mission statement explaining their overall goal, and the action planned towards those goals. (This could still come of course, but it should have been disclosed when they announced this)


They do not need Jay Z for ANY of those things. They gave him a made up position so that they can bring his name up as an ally whenever there's a social conflict within the NFL. It's PURE Public Relations.

And to feel him in they offered him part of a team and they're gonna let him have a say in entertainment. Jay-Z's involvement changes nothing.

You living in LALA land.

It's the NFL. They host football games and build stadiums.

Go that sh*t to your local politician or police department. You think you finna tell a private institution that hosts sporting events that they need to lay out issues they want to address when it pertains to police brutality???? They not the police LOL....

Man y'all are lunatics....

Go kneel without speaking while others actually go jump in the traffic. Kneeling and tweeting and not working only part of the equation.

It only makes sense when we realize that we're living in the Upside Down.

Meanwhile, whenever the NFL gets into big legal trouble (like the Brady case), their go-to-guy is Ted Wells, the one of the most powerful litigators in the country, who just happens to be a black man.

Ted Wells

Who exactly is Ted Wells?

By EMILY KAPLAN May 07, 2015

A prominent criminal attorney has found his latest client to be a profitable one. The NFL continues to keep Ted Wells busy. Just 18 months after investigating bullying accusations within the Miami Dolphins locker room, Wells—of New York City-based firm, Paul Weiss—has dug into another thorn for the nation’s top sports league: Deflategate. With a 243-page report released on Wednesday, after a 14-week investigation, Wells determined it was “more probable than not” the Patriots violated NFL rules by deflating balls in January’s AFC Championship Game against the Colts. Wells also asserted quarterback Tom Brady was “at least generally aware” of what was going on.

Who exactly is Ted Wells?

Wells was on athletic scholarship at Holy Cross in 1968. The Washington, D.C., native was one of 20 African-American students who enrolled at the Jesuit college in Worcester, Mass., that fall, after being recruited by a priest who wanted to integrate the predominantly white campus.

Though Wells left the Crusaders after one season to focus on academics, the school honored his scholarship. He became head of the Black Student Union, associating with a precocious—and socially active—crew (among them: future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas; novelist Edward P. Jones, who won the Pulitzer Prize for The Known World in 2004; and Eddie Jenkins, a wide receiver who won the Super Bowl with the '72 Dolphins).

The 63-year-old Wells, who declined an interview request, went on to receive his law degree and MBA from Harvard. Now a partner at Paul Weiss, Wells is one of the most successful defense attorneys in the country, with a client list that has included Mike Espy, Scooter Libby, Eliot Spitzer and Robert Torricelli.

"Four times, I've offered him a job," says Bill Bradley, the former New York Knick and U.S. senator. "But he's too good at what he does. He turned me down three times." Wells did say yes to Bradley once, though, taking a spot as treasurer on his 2000 presidential campaign.

Wells, who's been known to lock himself in a hotel room for weeks preparing for a big case, does have sports-related legal experience, having conducted reviews of the NBPA leadership dispute and Syracuse's handing of sexual assault accusations against former assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine.

According to the 2011 book Fraternity, which chronicles Wells's Holy Cross class, most college programs wouldn't recruit Wells as a center, because they believed the position required "sophisticated understanding of the game," implying that an African-American was incapable of comprehending such complexity. Now, Wells is being tasked with unraveling the complexities of the modern NFL.

No. I actually didn't say anything regarding police brutality. You came up with that yourself. Kinda weird, but let me continue.

But as far as laying out what issues they'd like to address and actions taken towards them, that's a standard procedure of pretty much every business/organization. Thus why the NFL ALREADY fukkING DOES THIS EVERY YEAR. HOW fukkING OLD ARE YOU MY G???
