It was naive to think that Jay Z once he partnered with the NFL wouldn’t do what he can to help Colin Kaepernick, regardless of what Kap’s inner circle were saying about him publicly and privately.
Considering what was said, if Jay would have turned his back on Kaepernick it would have been understandable, but that hasn’t how it went down.
While breaking down Kaepernick’s upcoming workout, NFL.com’s Rapoport revealed that Hov potentially used his position with the NFL to sway teams into taking a look at the quarterback. “I am also told that JAY-Z—who has been working with the NFL on some social justice initiatives—was involved in this and pushed this idea to some extent,” Rapoport said.
While it still feels like a PR Stunt from the NFL and they hoped that Kaepernick would decline, you can’t ignore that Jay Z is at least doing his best to get Kaepernick back on the field.
