    Again. I’m not hating Jay. I’ve been a fan. But he needs to surround himself with just 2-3 people who actually know better than this. Please don’t keep saying it’s “chess not checkers.” This is chutes and ladders. And it’s an uglier start to something that had an ugly starthttps://twitter.com/byajperez/status/1170008466389438465 …

        This is what I said from jumpstreet! Its been melting my mind that he didn't have the forethought to just be the figurehead on this & surround himself with social experts that couldve done the heavy lifting. Jay Z rep getn killed by his own hubris, but lets "wait and see"... smdh

        A blind man could see this was a terrible idea. Not surprised the @nfl did this, but this is very disappointing by Jay-Z.

        The other title for that game - ‘Snakes & Ladders’ seems more appropriate here.

        Jay is not Che Guevara with bling on. He's part of the system. It's not Jay who is the problem here. It's people who want to believe he is something other than a disaster Capitalist.

        Chess, checkers, Chute and Ladders, Monopoly or whatever he's playing, homeboy just started the game by throwing the board across the room at the wall and I'm NOT shocked at all because what did we expect when two capitalist entities come together to make money?

        Well signing a deal with @nfl damn sure aint the solution. Here are a few Dont punish players who protest Dont fire players who protest Dont force players to sing a song Dont force players to cut their locks Dont have double standards for owners who break laws Start there

        Well that would not work bc to know better would require to do better. Jay Z is the "Business" & his goal is to go to bed with the NFL & hopefully geta team. At any cost, players, culture, community, social justice.......
