J. Cole Encourages NFL Fans To Boycott Until Kaepernick Gets Signed

"You and me have the power to deny them our attention."

Rapper J. Cole spoke out against the NFL on Sunday when he took to Twitter to urge his fans to boycott the league because quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been unfairly denied a job.

Many have asserted that Kaepernick has been left unemployed by the NFL because of his National Anthem protests, and not because of a lack of talent. 

Kaepernick's protests were powerful when they began, but as President Trump continues to attack the NFL star and his fellow athletes, they have taken on a whole new importance. 

Clearly, J. Cole feels like many of us do and believes Kaepernick should be hailed as a hero and not left out of the league he once called home. 

  • Cole used social media to express his beliefs that people should be boycotting the league until there is proof that Kaepernick is not being "denied a job unfraily as punishment" for his protests.
