Jay-Z is defending his controversial partnership with the NFL, for which he has been accused of betraying former player Colin Kaepernick’s fight for racial justice. “As long as real people are being hurt and marginalized and losing family members, then yes, I can take a couple rounds of negative press,” he said. Super Bowl Sunday features the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers -- the former team of Colin Kaepernick, who made headlines in 2016 by kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. He was done wrong,” Jay-Z said. But it was three years ago and someone needs to say, ‘What do we do now -- because people are still dying?”
