JAY-Z INFLUENCED COLIN KAEPERNICK’S NFL WORKOUT: REPORT

Jay-Z          Colin Kaepernick's

On Wednesday (Nov. 13) NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport claimed that Jay-Z influenced setting up of Kaepernick's upcoming combine-style workout exhibition for 32 NFL teams, which will take place in Atlanta on Saturday at 3 p.m. EST.
"I am also told that Jay-Z—who has been working with the NFL on some social justice initiatives—was involved in this and pushed this idea to some extent," he said.
Via his Twitter account, Rapoport that Colin's upcoming workout was not part of his settlement that he reached with the NFL back in February. Either way, this combine should give Colin the opportunity to prove to NFL teams that he is still in top physical and mental condition to play football in the NFL for the first time in three years.
Since the announcement that Jay-Z was teaming up with the NFL, the Roc Nation mogul has been heavily criticized by Kaep's friend, fellow NFL player Eric Reid and Kaepernick's girlfriend Nessa, the latter of whom thinks Hov helped bury the athlete by partnering with the NFL for a social justice initiative.
Jay-Z, who hasn't released a new solo project since 2017's 4:44, has not made an official statement about Colin's upcoming workout. XXL has reached out to Hov's camp for comment.

Coming back from a landslide defeat in the New Hampshire primary, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton doggedly criticized Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on areas where he’d split with Obama while duct-taping herself to the President’s legacy on issues as varied as foreign policy , health care and Wall Street . Sanders, for his part, did his best to hold his ground, justifying his criticism of the President and presenting himself as a change agent while pointing out Clinton’s own differences with Obama. Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
