DL Hughley On How The NFL Is Using JAY-Z & Colin Kaepernick

[@syleiswiley4037]

Colin Kaepernick didn't take a settlement, he won his grievance. If my job wrongfully stops my money my union files a grievance, if I win I'm paid. That's why Kaepernick still hoped to play. He didn't sell out he won his grievance

concoop67 : He was brought in to get black performers to start working with the NFL. They’re in for a rude awakening, because the artists want Kaepernick back in the league. If the black artists won’t perform, blacks are less likely to watch. If the viewership becomes too homogeneous, advertisers wont sponsor the league, because it hurts the sponsors’ image. With reduced sponsorships, the NFL begins to hurt, and they will lose these athletes to other sports. I’d love to see more of them playing basketball, soccer & baseball anyways. They’ll play longer, make more money, and live longer.

YOU can simply not question Jay-Z but I will always forever question, Shawn Corey Carter aka Jay-Z. He screwed over two people at once: Colin Kaepernick with the Social Injustice and the Jermaine Dupri wanting to do something for his city, while the SB was in his city, that could've led to what he signed a deal for his RocNation company. His motives were wrong! He wasn't and isn't qualifiable to host anything that involves Social Injustice. Colin should've been given that job, if he couldn't play: IMO and JD, should've had creative control over the SB halftime show with his Musical efforts. JZ is a snake!! A Judas Iscariot. Also, this isn't the first time that JZ has been used. He was used for the Barclays center and Tidal; that he had a low percentage in; unless, he likes being used and seen as a drug dealer still but with a new platform.

Notice two black billionaires have done things strangely (Oprah and Jay Z) in a 12 month period that have black folk like myself scratching their head! #Compromised

[@Survivor58]

What did Oprah do?

[@brem3985]

and you’ve done what with your money?

[@nitaedge9483]

Jay-z A billionaire businessman! LOL what a joke! A deal for 5% ownership to betray a brother! Sorry deal. Thanks a lot! Judas!!!

[@hanahjohnson2761]

👍👍👍

[@unclejitz]

Ownership of what a halftime show hhhaaaaa surely u jest if u think its a team and if a team what team

[@brem3985]

compare your bank account to his, and then we’ll see who’s the real joke!

[@daviscd6837]

How do we know he is a billionaire? He could be using his wife's assets. There is no team ownership on the table. He profited off this deal. Where are the details of the Social Justice Projects. How will these funds be used, who and in what communities will benefit?

Keep speaking your truth D.L because I agree with everything you are saying in this segment and we need to wake up in this country before it is to late. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.

You sound like a woman. I don't know where you people get this "your truth", "his truth" & "her truth" nonsense from. There's only *THE* truth.

I think D.L is an absolute G. He always says the most informative and factual shit and ya just cant deny anything he says. Much respect to this man.

[@servantleaderkwoods2789]

Excellent observations D.L.! To most owners, their players are nothing more than cattle.

[@qb6570]

I usually agree with DL BUT not this time. He wants to give Jay z the benefit of the doubt. Your slave analogy described this situation perfectly. Colin is the rebellion leader that got his head chopped off. The NFL blackballed him to essentially send to a message the other black players...OBEY OR ELSE. Jay was the slave that told by conforming. Do you think Jay needs the NFL to push social change?? NO. If he believed this would help, then why keep it hidden until the deal was finalized? Why did he dissuade Jermaine Dupree from working with the NFL last year?? This guy is universally recognized as one of the smartest men in music, do you honestly believe he was duped by false promises?? The NFL needed a black face to shepherd other negros back into viewership. They were methodically in their approach. By dealing with Jay and simultaneously shunning Colin, they're reaffirming their dominance while deceiving the foolish..Just like a pimp that beats his prostitute and wipes her tears away afterwards. THIS IS WHY OUR ADVANCEMENTS WILL FOREVER BE HINDERED.

[@hanahjohnson2761]

👍👍👍 Agreed!

[@justshalicious6283]

Q B Great analogy!!

[@tammyshelton8864]

Great Points, but if we don't question Jay-Z and Colin Kap. Then what are we questioning? If silence is Golden then they just bought Jay-Z and Colin Kap. No voice. No protest. The Game must go on.. Our People are Golden.. The Bible says PROVE ALL THINGS! EVERY Man has a duty to God and his Brothern.

[@clynnclark8725]

I agree with what everyone is saying, however, Jay Z has always done things silently. I'm curious to see what happens

[@cagetv9531]

Sell out point blank period....I'm not surprised tho

[@MHairston79]

What about the black NFL players that are still collecting checks from the NFL. Aren't they sell outs too?

[@tilabryant2948]

So if we know all of this why do we keep allowing ourselves to be sold and bought 🤔 Nah DL I usually side with you but it’s jay z faults as much as the owners

[@ChayaIsrael777]

JayZ is a hissing snake 🐍..Periodt!

[@poewinsky]

Wow you're on point Big Bro

[@tripodthreefoot2268]

Thank you very much, DL your voice speaks power and truth, thanks you for your continued involvement.

[@ParisArmaniTV]

Powerful analysis, Hughley!!

[@bkass6712]

Seems like DL making excuses for Jay-DL knows he don’t like this move

[@brentm9758]

Jay Z we’re past kneeling - First of all Jay Z you never kneeled!

[@lennybeason1110]

Didn't have to he was getting protesters out of jail.

[@jdogisme]

@@lennybeason1110 Then it wasn't for him to speak on NFL players kneeling! jayz should have stayed in his lane...

[@bushybrow06]

And stop saying he took a settlement he won a grievance against the NFL. This all anti black and so is @TV One and @DLHughley

[@lawreneph]

I'm sorry but taking a settlement is exactly what happened. If you had not noticed Kaepernick hasn't been talking about any of this latest news of Jay-Z or the NFL. All the information has been coming via Nessa and other people like Eric Reid. Colin Kaepernick hasn't been saying a damn thing at all. If you follow him all he has been posting is shirts and a few positive messages. He can't really speak on anything after the settlement he received so he is silenced completely and thats why he actually lost and in the end he took a settlement. 🤷🏾‍♂️ its ugly

[@duffalex24]

"Kaepernick won his first major victory in his grievance case last August when an NFL arbitrator ruled that he would allow Kaepernick’s grievance to proceed to an official trial phase. The trial was expected sometime this year, but the settlement announcement means that the case ends here" This is exactly what happened. Kap did take a settlement. If you've also noticed he hasn't spoken out like he's done in the past. Because of the NDA which he agreed to. No more bad mouthing the NFL specifically and he would in turn have to drop his grievance in order to be considered in playing in the NFL again.

[@1990758]

Same thing is just word it different

[@aikenstodd]

Nah he took the settlement his case could've went to trial but the NFL offered a settlement and he accepted it....

[@JH-rz4xi]

I luv hearing DL speak hes funny but when he speaks he always has an interesting and powerful message.
