4:46Now PlayingJ. Cole Boycotts NFL And Says You Should Too In Well Detailed Thread In Defense Of Colin Kaepernick
J. Cole urges fans to boycott NFL ‘until they make a wrong situation right’. As players across the NFL took a stand against President Trump Sunday by kneeling during the national anthem, rapper J. Cole joined the movement with a powerful call for a boycott. The "Work Out" musician penned a lengthy Twitter thread Sunday praising the players' peaceful protests, and urging fans to hold out on tuning in to football games until "they make a wrong situation right." The 32-year-old star — whose real name is Jermaine Cole — kicked off his message by criticizing the league owners who apparently denied Colin Kaepernick a job because of the movement the quarterback launched over a year ago to peacefully protest racial inequality. Same ones who speak out against Trump today, are the same ones that denied a qualified man a job because he took a stand against injustice," he wrote. "You and me have the power to deny them our attention ($$ to them) until they make a wrong situation right." J. Cole urged the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) to look further into Kaepernick's resulting unemployment, and to "compensate the man for his losses" if they find he was denied a job unfairly. He also had another plan up his sleeve should his proposed boycott fall through — go after the NFL's sponsors to hit them where it hurts. "Black people spend a lot of money with NFL corporate sponsors. White people who don't f-k with white supremacy spend a lot of money too," he wrote. "Pick one of the biggest ones and say, 'Do you agree with black balling players when they speak out against oppression? If not, why are you spending all this money with a league that clearly condones that? You know what, I don't think I can spend my money with you no more until you fix this."
