Jay-Z partnership is perfect cover for NFL’s ‘social justice’ pandering
New York Post ^ | Phil Mushnick

This week, the NFL, with its $42 million-per man at the wheel, committed another act of putting up while shutting up. It named Jay-Z and his entertainment/rep company Roc Nation to “enhance the NFL’s live game experiences and to amplify the league’s social justice efforts.” Jay-Z also will contribute to and supervise Super Bowl halftime acts.

Of course, having named the fabulously wealthy and popular rapper its “social justice” monitor, no one from the NFL — certainly not Goodell — would dare read the lyrics of the scores of numbers that have brought Jay-Z his fame, fortune and, now, NFL-assigned social justice muscle.

They can’t. Jay-Z’s work is anathema not just to social justice but minimal common decency. In fact, his “artistry” profits from, promotes and perpetuates every negative, values-twisted stereotype of urban black male life.

His are seldom songs of caution, protest or hope. Quite the contrary. But you name it, Jay-Z has cashed in on it.

He, more than most, has helped re-resurrect the N-word into African-Americana, so much so that broken-spirited black urban teachers can’t prevent 11-year-old black boys from calling one another n—-s while calling 11-year-old black girls the worst of sexually vulgar terms.

Are we supposed to be excited about this? We're onto you, Goodell. The apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it?

Yet another reason NOT to watch the NFL.

...amplify the league’s social justice efforts

Yep, just what they need to make it more endearing to their white audience...or what's left of it. Smart move. They'll be following Jillette in overall profitability.

Anyone who watches the NFL is an enabler of this BS.

Goodell is killing interest in the NFL, the same way Brian France killed interest in NASCAR.

These post-modern sports commissars want to impose their left-wing ideology on their core audience.... adult, heterosexual men.

But, they’re only presiding over the implosion of their respective sports.

Kapperdick’s Arab wench is FURIOUS over Jay-Z’s “sellout” to the NFL “slave masters.” she had less to say about the $10 million the League paid him last year.
