Jay Z was wrong. CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO for today’s episode of The Breakdown where I unpack the pain and problems of what Jay Z just did in striking a deal with the NFL, one that he spent a year building, while they actively prevent @kaepernick7 from ever playing another game again. Let me tell you two things: if you actively banned a friend of mine for working for three years, and continued to do so, we can’t be friends. We damn sure can’t laugh and be buddies. Secondly, Jay Z was working on this deal for a year. They flew out and met each other over and over again. It’s why they look like besties here. And in that year, Jay Z talked to Colin repeatedly. He never mentioned this deal being in the works, because he knew it was shady, he knew it was wrong. Anyway, listen to today’s episode.
