Wednesday, saying he was working with an organization that had blackballed Kaepernick.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said the deal had been in the works over the last seven months. Wednesday's news conference was held on the third anniversary of Kaepernick's first pre-game protest. Kaepernick has been out of the NFL since the 2016 season, when he began kneeling through the national anthem before games to protest police brutality against people of color and racial inequality.

When asked Wednesday if he would kneel or stand, Jay-Z said:"I think we've moved past kneeling and I think it's time to go into actionable items." "Today marks the three year anniversary of the first time I protested systemic oppression," he said Wednesday."I continue to work and stand with the people in our fight for liberation, despite those who are trying to erase the movement! The movement has always lived with the people!

FamishedCreator The beauty of IDPols: the ONLY allegiance the very rich have is to each other. ANY PoC that supports the NFL should be openly mocked if caught complaining about racism. Can't have it both ways. KneelWithKaep BLM Justice4All

How is the NFL denying him an opportunity? All 32 teams operate independently. The league has no control over who teams chose to sign (outside of those currently under contract to a team, obviously). Nor can they prevent the AFL, CFL, AAF, or XFL from signing him.

He only cares about money, and is liked because he is rich. Can't hang in the hood no more, so he hangs around other rich dicks.

Good on Jay-Z. Love his response 'We forget that Colin’s whole thing was to bring attention to social injustice. In that case, this is a success.'

Who the fuck is this 'Jay Z' Real question!!

Wrong is wrong and pandering is pandering.

Jay-z wack af F$$;?! JZ

Jay is GOAT. I got Kap back. Perhaps she might be walking out of line. It will work out.

Who said this? Exactly.

Wasnt Kaepernick already paid off? He wants more!?

Fake acceptance from fake news

Perhaps Nessie should look up the word ' settlement' in the dictionary.

LMFAO!! I love that he's STILL unemployed.

Jay-Z, will you make a positive change? Or is this just about money? Only time will tell.

There's just no pleasing angry, hate-filled communists! Nessa is a seriously delusional, unhappy, bitter communist! Why she stays in America, when she lives in a country where she is FREE to leave, is beyond rational thought!

They can leave still

Who the F cares what his girlfriend thinks.

Trying to make up lost ratings with a new fan base. Desperate move the NFL knows it’s declining And will continue to unless 2006 rules are reinstated

When you are black, money makes you white - suddenly you become acceptable to whites in general.

If Colin Kaepernick had just played ball, he would probably be employed now. You can do what you want on your own time. When you are working, you are on your employer's time. Many other people have been fired for not adhering to their employers values when on company time.

Well, I for one never purchased a Jay-Z album. Never liked his music anyway.

Funny how Kap cant speak for himself. Needs an Egyptian woman to speak on a black causes

Anti American forces are joining together NBC and Colin

What does his wife think?

Shaqkeem1 'Colin Kaepernick's girlfriend' k

this is hopefully going to turn out very bad for both of these people selling their souls .Jay-z better hope he can find someone to buy his music(sic) from now on. He sold out rather than help in the fight.Sad

Just keep kneeling with Krap.

He sure was

Doing everything they can to keep Kaeperdick in the news.

Jay Z is no dummy. He didn't become a top earner by following. The guy & his management team know how strategic partnerships work. Partnering w/ NFL is HUGE. It will be another revenue stream & probably create a job or 2. How can you hate on that?

Kanye can loan him a MAGA hat! Im sure he’s got a couple.

Didn’t she say something a few years ago that cost him a job with the Ravens or was it another team?

I'm reserving my opinion and I'm going to see how it plays out. *And I'm a firm believer in what Kaepernick is doing, but this might just open the door to change!

Jay-Z is going to do great things for the league and social change for equality. Regardless of what Kaps girlfriend thinks.

His girlfriend might be ex-girlfriend if she keeps talking. Kaepernick got his money. He made pretending to care about Civil Rights lucrative.

WTF does Jay-Z and football have in common.....NOTHING. Once again the NFL and it’s irrational knee jerk reaction. NFL; Not For Long.

This proves something Money is stronger than right or wrong with someone who has tons of money.

Show him the money.......
