There has been speculation that Jay-Z said no to the Super Bowl offer as way to show support for former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has yet to land a job in the NFL after opting out of his contract with the 49ers in May. Some people think Kaepernick has been blackballed from the league because he refused to stand for the national anthem last season as a way to protest social injustice.
Jay-Z dedicated his song “The Story of O.J.” to Kaepernick during a performance earlier this month.

...how about something OTHER than Rap Thugs, or
America-hating socialists with Agenda?
I very tired of the constant parade of Ugly Krappe!
Good.
It’s tempting but I still won’t watch!
In other news, Roger Goodell was dumb enough to offer Jay-Z the Stupid Bowel halftime show.
I’m serious folks. We are watching the entire league jump the shark in real time.
I applaud Trump’s attack on the racist protesting by league players. Enough is enough.
The NFL became a religion in America. Sundays have been spent for a couple of generations bowing to the gridiron and not to our Creator.
We need to repent and ask forgiveness.
Crushed, I am.
Another no talent will not perform at the Super Bowl which I will not watch.
Life is so sad.
Was thunder thighs invited?
I love winning every day, even when the stakes are as small as this gay fish stick.
Well, you could seek counseling. ;-)
Goodell is being swept up by a hurricane he never imagined would come.
He is totally unprepared.
Sorry everyone. Although there is little difference, the “gay fish sticks” reference was to Kanye West, not Jay-Z.
‘The NFL became a religion in America. Sundays have been spent for a couple of generations bowing to the gridiron and not to our Creator’
Well put.
Maybe they can get Up with People.
It looks like the Superbowl planners are scraping the bottom of the barrel if they have to ask rappers to perform. Does that mean that actual musicians are turning them down, too?

Assholes of a feather stink together.
“...as a way to protest social injustice”.
What a load of tish this is!
The only social injustice going on in this country is the rampant discrimination against white, Christian, conservatives who are about 1 more leftist president away from being rounded up and sent to gulags.
I think it’s funny how they do Roman numerals for Super Bowls, but they made an exception for Super Bowl 50. It would have been Super Bowl L in Roman numerals, and apparently the people who run the NFL couldn’t have that. Now we’re back to Roman numerals.
Sometimes I wonder do some kids today know what Super Bowl LII means; do they still teach Roman numerals in school?
Turn the entire National Felon League over to #BLACKLIESMATTER.
Please.
Amen to that!
Jay-Z, O.J. and Kaepernick are three black guys who are not down and out ex-slaves that just tumbled out of the plantation.
Jay-Z is a mogul of music and makes LOTS of money.
O.J. was one of the most respected players in the NFL and made LOTS of money.
Kaepernick became a quarterback within a system that filled with 72% of the best black players in the world. He had the potential of making LOTS of money.
I do not feel sorry for these three guys.
"The Story of O.J."?
Give me a flipping break.
