JAY-Z DISAPPOINTED IN KAEPERNICK ... 'Turned A Legitmate Work Out Into A Publicity Stunt'

Jay-Z is unhappy with the way Colin Kaepernick handled his workout on Saturday -- our sources feel Colin "turned a legitimate workout into a publicity stunt."

As we previously reported, Colin bailed on the NFL's workout Saturday and held his own workout instead. Colin claims he wanted transparency -- insisting the NFL would not allow him to have media at the workout.

Sources close to Jay-Z tell us ... Jay is unhappy with the way things went down because he feels the league was genuine in trying to give Colin an opportunity.

Colin went through with his workout at a high school nearby and reviews are mixed. Some scouts are reportedly impressed with Kap's arms strength and talent. And, others are reportedly saying he looked average at best.

“However, one of those teams has no intention of signing him.

Their attendance is fake. They are sending someone only to avoid accusations of racism. They absolutely will not sign him.”

All the teams that were at the Atlanta stadium could have gone to that high school. I think most of the teams had no intention of signing this troublemaker.

As an old timer once said, “that guy could F up a wet dream.” All Kaepernick had to do was shut up and run around a gym, not trip over his feet, and throw a ball for a few hours. I’m sure that if he did that, JayZ had enough sway in the league to shame at least one old white guy into offering him millions of dollars and a national platform to continue his antics. That is all he had to do, and he couldn’t even pull that off.

I wonder if Nike will distance themselves from him. They sure are backtracking about what went down. Still don’t see an NFL retraction

Kaepernick is lazy. Its far easier to be a communist agitator.

The NFL catered to this idiot and others like him. Let them marinate in it now.

Who gives a f*** what he did back then? If I said all the things I did in my late teens and twenties should I be kicked off here at 51? And yeah they were low end Mafia activities. Should I quit the board?

The statutes for anything I did expired 19 years ago. I thought this was a country of starting over

Just like he did when he first took the knee. It was all a publicity stunt then too.

Jay-Z no doubt leaned on the league to agree to this farce, then Colin’s ego trip screwed it up and left Jay-Z with egg on his face. Gee, what a shame!

“As we previously reported, Colin bailed on the NFL’s workout Saturday and held his own workout instead. Colin claims he wanted transparency — insisting the NFL would not allow him to have media at the workout.”

If he cancelled his workout with a team that asked him, the only one, then who is he working out for? If he wants to be a news writer, then he did the right thing. But, unless someone has changed professions, there are no owners of teams that work in journalism. So by “snuffing” the Redskins offer, and not playing by the rules, he further identifies himself as a trouble maker to the league and not a good choice for employment. Kind of like going to an interview with a beer.

This stunt make Nike really look good considering they bowed to his demands concerning a flag on a shoe.

Jay-Z is learning some valuable lessons about how the real world works.
