Guardian on Jay-Z/NFL deal: Black legs matter, black lives don’t; Freddie Gibbs supports Jay-Z

Jay-Z will produce the Super Bowl halftime show, as part of the new, multi-year deal with the National Football League, and many people are surprised at best; betrayed at worst. The Guardian reminds Jay-Z how he name-checked Fred Hampton, a Black Panther party leader murdered by the police, who insisted: “We say you don’t fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism”. Freddie Gibbs supports Jay-Z's decision to enter the american football business, as SOHH reported: “I’m riding with Jay-Z, straight up, man. Fuck Colin Kaepernick. All y’all niggas marched for Colin Kaepernick and he took a settlement and ain’t tell y’all what he got or nothing. He settled. So there it go. Y’all hating on Jay-Z for trying to own something in the NFL. Y’all niggas is some motherfucking crabs.”
