This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:

THE QUICK FACTS

• Earlier this month, the NFL announced that it was entering a partnership with Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded and led by rapper and mogul Jay-Z. The deal means that Roc Nation will now help advise on selecting artists for major NFL performances like the Super Bowl.
• The deal also includes a social justice partnership between the league and Jay-Z. Roc Nation will reportedly play an important role in the NFL’s recently launched “Inspire Change” initiative, which is focused on advancing social and racial justice.
• The deal has drawn backlash from some, who say Jay-Z is wrong to partner with the NFL due to its treatment of players like Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid, who sparked a league-wide protest three years ago by kneeling during the national anthem to call attention to racial injustice and police brutality.
• Critics argue that Jay-Z, who has a history of funding social justice causes and has praised Kaepernick’s protest in the past, is now disregarding the fact that the NFL has still not signed Kaepernick to a team. They also claim that with the deal, the rapper is capitalizing on Kaepernick’s protest to make more money for himself.
