That’s how selling out works.

NFL played chess and Jay Z chose to be the checker.

The “Inspire Change” initiative is garbage. They are selling apparel and giving diverse artists a chance to get paid and rebrand themselves.

This has little to do with us, than it does with them.

This is very important fact before you hoodwinked by “Jay Z” “Inspire Change” scam. The same goes for their Salute to Service bullshit. Its basically about lining their pockets. The bottom line is cash not giving a shit about Social justice, Breast Cancer, or the US Military. https://t.co/Np054B5fdm
