NFL Partners With Jay-Z’s Roc Nation But Won’t Play Super Bowl.....


The NFL and Jay-Z have reached an agreement that has nothing to do with the superstar rapper performing at the Super Bowl.


In a bid to improve the league’s entertain offerings as well as bolster its social justice efforts, the NFL has made Jay-Z’s Roc Nation agency a co-producer of the Super Bowl halftime show in a deal that includes a commitment from both parties to amplify the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative.


Jay-Z said he believes Roc Nation will have “autonomy” to produce the kind of entertainment it wants.


“I anticipate that there will be a lot of — with any big organization, in this building right here we have internal problems,” Jay-Z said, according to The Washington Post. “Anything that’s new is going to go through its growing pains. We put what we want to do on the table. The NFL agreed to it. So we’re gonna proceed with that as if we have a partnership.”


Besides handling recruiting talent for the Super Bowl halftime show, Roc Nation will select entertainers to perform in NFL content and at events throughout the season.....snip~

Hmmm I wonder if Jay Z will make sure Country Music has their performers taking care of event thru the season. Think Jay Z would consider Country Music at a Superbowl? He never was big on Country music.

Well the NFL needs Social Justice. Just look at how impoverished their black players are. Oh wait, they are all pretty much rich? I wonder how much the Player's Association contributes to such causes?

I figured at least the United Way.....as they all do need a tax write off.

The funny part about this is that Eric Reid slammed the NFL for this partnership. He apparently thinks this undermines Kaepernick's cause. Granted, he also thinks that Kaepernick doesn't have a job in the NFL solely because of his activism. Of all people, Reid should understand that, if your price is right and your talent is high enough, NFL owners don't care as much about your politics. Kaepernick doesn't have a job in the NFL, because he expects to be paid like a starter while having the performance of a backup plus the headaches of being a controversial figure.

Granted, activists rarely understand capitalism. This is also shown by the USWNT thinking they should be paid the same as the men when they only bring in a fraction of the revenue that the men do.

It appears that the NFL is using Jay Z to get rid of Kaepernick. Imagine that.
Jay-Z Helped the NFL Banish Colin Kaepernick

The former quarterback caused a problem for the league—which turned to the celebrated rapper for assistance



Yesterday the hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell held a joint media session at the Roc Nation offices in New York to seal a once-implausible partnership that isn’t being received as positively as both parties probably hoped.

I assume neither Goodell nor Jay-Z expected to be on the defensive once the NFL announced that it would give Roc Nation, the music mogul’s entertainment company, significant power in choosing the performers for the league’s signature events—including the coveted Super Bowl halftime show. Jay-Z and Roc Nation will also help augment the NFL’s social-justice initiatives by developing content and spaces where players can speak about the issues that concern them.


This wasn’t just another routine example of Jay-Z living out a lyric he’d rapped nearly 15 years ago—“I’m not a businessman. I’m a business, man!” Instead, the rapper faced questions yesterday about why he chose to collaborate with the same league that he’d publicly criticized for its treatment of Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback who hasn’t had an NFL job since taking a knee during the national anthem three years ago to protest police brutality and racial injustice. This is the same Jay-Z who showed support for Kaepernick by wearing his jersey on Saturday Night Live. On his megahit song “Ape$#@!,” Jay-Z rapped this lyric: “Once I said no to the Super Bowl. You need me, I don’t need you. Every night we in the end zone. Tell the NFL we in stadiums too.”



The financial arrangements have not been made public. But whatever the numbers, the NFL’s new partnership with Jay-Z is a huge win for the league. Some of the biggest celebrities in the world have voiced their support of Kaepernick, saying they would boycott the NFL until Kaepernick is back in the league.

Now that the NFL has Jay-Z’s blessing, it’s conceivable that some of those entertainers who distanced themselves from the NFL might change their mind. Jay-Z has given the NFL exactly what it wanted: guilt-free access to black audiences, culture, entertainers, and influencers.


By leaving Kaepernick completely out of the mix, Jay-Z is now complicit in helping the NFL execute its strategy. Now he is an accomplice in the league’s hypocrisy.


Fortunately for Ross and other owners, Jay-Z gave the NFL what it wanted—a blank slate. Jay-Z is an iconic figure, and it would be a shame if this partnership changed how people think of him. But I have also learned this about the NFL: Football is the NFL’s primary business, but chess is the game it plays best.....snip~

It seems like half of ESPN's personnel is caught up in the SJW b.s. Granted, they have an entire column on their website called the "Undefeated", which is largely just your standard race-baiting nonsense. I suppose The Root hasn't yet monopolized that market.

The leftness always spoils events where people are having a good time. Its their Naaturaal.

Reid kneels before preseason loss, rips Jay-Z deal again

The NFL needs to have a policy that political statements of any kind = no more job with the NFL. Or the NFL's ratings will continue to plunge. Yes there was an uptick in 2018, but this clown may kill it for 2019.

Didn't take long Kaepernicks girlfriend is out talking about how the NFL used Jay-Z to bury Kaepernick.
