Common on Travis Scott Halftime Show: NFL Doesn't 'Really Support Black People'

If it was up to Common, Travis Scott would not be performing at next month's Super Bowl LIII halftime show.

Not because he isn't a fan of Scott. It's because he doesn't support the NFL after the league's handling of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

"I ain't with supporting the NFL," Common told TMZ Sports. "They don't really support black people. ... Kaepernick said he's standing up for people who are being shot down, black and brown people. The NFL basically blackballed him. They've shown how they feel about us for real.
