[mockingbird]

[Polo]

Stephen A. on here shuckin and jivin YET AGAIN!!

[johnpearson]

How the hell is JayZ selling out Kapernick-Kapernick just settled his suit against the NFL for 💲💲💲millions, what kind of logic are ya'll working from???

[tyronprimeau]

I use to love sports...but once I got older...it's all politics...just like Rome.

[jeromec]

Stephen A should be a gymnast the way he does flips...

[stayfocused]

He dragged Kanye for his Trump meeting 💯💯🤨🤨

[yaimavol]

Can we cut the crap about Kap? He's been unemployed for 2 years with PLENTY of time on his hands to get hands on in our inner cities and really make a difference for the cause he supposedly cares about. What has he actually done to help one single young black male in this country in the past 2 years?

[r.a.]

Obviously jayz is about the bread look what happened to Brooklyn with the NETS people from his own neighborhood cant even afford to live were they grew up its just sad man. I hope he ends up making a difference for the better.

[humzahanfi]

Why is max more woke than Stephen A in terms of black issues

[DeLaCruz_]

Didn't Eric Reid settle with the NFL for a job?

[Alphaflight]

These narratives will get Trump reelected

[mcolemc]

Stephen A just said a whole bunch of nothing just now

[kevinsommers]

You can do that Max i know you stand up for Black people more than i do

[kinggloc]

Why do you have to have to a business deal to fix racism it doesn't even make sense... It's real simple just don't be racist

[jamiethomas]

Either Kap gets signed, or Hov sold out.

[Independent]

Same cats vilifying the NFL and Jay are the same ones watching games every Sunday and still listening to his albums 😂😂...

[thisisyoungdjTV]

Didn’t Eric Reid and Colin recieve a check from the NFL?

[theintelligentleman]

1000% correct. You can’t protest on someone else’s time and dime

[Mrsfabulous-yfdm]

Eric Reid still employed by the NFL but “baffled” by Jay Z (who’s a self made BILLIONAIRE) deal with the NFL astounds me! If you that mad, walk away from the millions you making. Over Eric Reid.. Colin Kapernick risked his career for what He believed in.. JayZ can do what he wants.
