Many are StillWithKap after Jay-Z announces plans to work with the NFL
Many see Jay-Z's working with the NFL as an affront to Colin Kaepernick's cause. In November 2017, Kaepernick filed a grievance against the NFL, accusing them of colluding to keep him out of the league for kneeling in protest of police brutality and racial injustice during the national anthem.
Wednesday evening, American filmmaker Ava DuVernay tweeted,"#ImStillWithKap" with a photo of the former football player and activist. Other big names joined in solidarity with Kaepernick, including Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid who said on Twitter,"Jay-Z doesn't need the NFL's help 2 address social injustices. It was a money move 4 him & his music business. The NFL gets 2 hide behind his black face 2 try to cover up blackballing Colin."
Kaepernick's longtime friend and former teammate also replied to a quote from Jay-Z on Wednesday night that said:"... everybody knows I agree with what you're saying [in Kaepernick's underlying message]. So what are we gonna do? ... [Help] millions and millions of people, or we get stuck on Colin not having a job."
These arenât mutually exclusive. They can both happen at the same time! It looks like your goal was to make millions and millions of dollars by assisting the NFL in burying Colinâs career.
