What if your racist ass employer gave you a promotion? Are you gonna call up a disgruntled ex employee, who wasn’t even up for the same position as you, to ask if you should take it or not?
Do any of you understand exactly what settling a lawsuit means?
Judging by these responses I don't think so therefore you shouldn't be trying to have this discussion.
Well said. It’s nuanced.You're actually right.
I would never suggest that the issues Kaep was bringing light to are successfully solved. Not at all.
I don't necessarily believe that is what anyone would have to wait for in order to do business with the NFL again.
However, Kaep has become bigger than the NFL in the political sphere. At this point, with the settlement and with his credibility still intact, the NFL lost. Kaep, in a strong sense, was victorious over the "battle" with the NFL.
That was the success I was alluding to. I do believe that there is a chance that Jay, considering his record, could potentially make a beneficial impact w/ his NFL dealings. We have to be realistic about what that benefit could be, though.
Could we see a much more organized and respectful way of business with respect to the livelihood, notoriety and health of black NFL players? Could we see a ramped up initiative by the NFL or a subsidiary that creates dialogue or an area of discussion regarding CTE or social issues, less likely.
That being said, the world doesn't stand still waiting for the impossible to happen. I can't fully get behind abandoning the league's black athletes and leaving them at the mercy of no one with their interests as even an afterthought.
------------------------------------------
I don't need or expect, at this point, for Jay-Z to be a martyr or a hero or a leader. I just can only hope that within his on system of decision making, even if profit is the major motive, that he has even a slither of interest in doing something I'd be happy with.

You're being obtuse on purpose. 29/50 highest valued sports teams are NFL teams. Good luck trying to come up with the resources to actually get to trial, let alone win it. This was never about him. He wasn't expecting to lose his job and be colluded against. The onus is on the damn NFL. This shyt could have been off our radar if the NFL owners didn't react to this like plantation owners. Their reaction to the issue and Colin got you looking at Colin like it's him vs NFL. I can tell the way you're caping that you've lost sight of the target. Out here asking with a straight face why a man that lost his livelihood took a settlement cause the NFL decided to act like racists. The marathon continues. Colin never said the movement started and stopped with him. On the other hand, Jay sat up there and said him now having a contract in food and beverages "moves us past kneeling". And you're questioning why Colin took money owed to him?
Between the disrespecting the flag narrative and the infighting and finger pointing coming from this, does anybody still care about what Kaep's goal was?
Stopped reading right there. Then what are we talking about if it wasn't about him?
Exactly... this is the best observation I have heard thus far on this situation
It's like both sides (pro Kaep) and (pro Jay Z) are losing sight of the REAL ENEMY which is laughing all the way to the bank ..while "we" FIGHT EACH OTHER over who got the better plan and who is the bigger sellout
Pathetic...and btw FUKK FREDDIE GIBBS he wasn't helping the situation
Both Colin and Jay Z methods are needed
It's always More than one way to skin a cat
Yep. You're a dingbat. It was never about him. It was never about the military. It was never about the National Anthem. But since you got Shawn's cock shoved in your tonsils, you're just gonna keep beating this damn drum that makes no sense. You've let the NFL change the target for you. Now you in here with that dumb ass "Colin got paid, why cant Jay" c00n narrative. Tell me how Shawn's gonna continue the POLICE BRUTALITY "fight" with his halftime show "input"? A man that lost his job and livelihood, become a pariah by the league and cacs across the nation gotta answer for every step he make, but this high priced whore Jay gets a check and you clowns in here with the "wait and see" approach with him. He aint gotta answer for shyt, huh? He don't have to have a plan, huh? Its chess not checkers with him, huh? Dont forget to wipe your mouth.
I wouldn't put any money on this :dayum:shes been in media on both costs plus TV for years now. nikkas know who Nessa is
