Mark Maske of the Washington Post reported that Jay-Z and the NFL are "forming a partnership...in a deal that allows him to help manage entertainment ventures tied to league events and is closely connected to the league's community activism efforts."
On Tuesday, Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid tweeted that ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is not part of the agreement. He then offered commentary on the deal:
Eric ReidYou & some others seem to misunderstand that we had no beef with the NFL until they started perpetuating the systemic oppression that we are fighting by blackballing Colin and then me.
