Jay-Z and the NFL make a deal
The NFL and hip-hop/rap icon Jay-Z has made a deal to involve Roc Nation with the NFL and its social justice. There have been some that disagree with Jay-Z and how he and his company will be involved with the NFL. By now everyone knows the story about Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid, Kenny Stills, and others and their fight against police brutality. Since Kaepernick took his stand and kneeled on the sidelines, only Stills and Reid are currently in the NFL.
The anger from Jay-Z and this deal stems from the issues with Kaepernick and him not playing in the NFL. Eric Reid, in particular, has expressed his anger with the deal both on Twitter and in interviews. Those that are angry are mad that Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation would align themselves with the NFL while the Kaepernick is not in the NFL.

On the business aspect for Jay-Z and Roc nation, i is a slam dunk. The money they will continue to make is unmatched, and they will be involved in all big NFL deals most likely. It has also been rumored that the NFL made a deal with Jay-Z where he will be a part-owner of a franchise soon.
Questions from the podcast team
How involved will Jay-Z get in the Super Bowl halftime show and will we see Roc Nation artists like DJ Khaled and Rihanna performing in the future? How will Roc Nation work with the NFLPA and the NFL on the “Inspire Change” program?
