Is Jay-Z's new partnership with the NFL a smart business move or a betrayal of his past support for Colin Kaepernick?
Last week the NFL announced a partnership with Roc Nation, the company founded by rapper and businessman Jay-Z. As part of the deal, Roc Nation will help produce musical performances at major NFL events, like the Super Bowl. The company will also"amplify the league's social justice efforts."
The agreement was announced three years to the day after then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick first started protesting what he calls"systemic oppression" of minorities by refusing to stand for the national anthem before games. Others argue that the deal is a natural extension of the work Kaepernick has done in compelling the NFL to taking social justice seriously."I think we’ve moved past kneeling. I think it’s time for action," Jay-Z said.
