Good luck! I understand what the NFLPA is trying to do their job, but come on…Hov doesn’t make a move without thoroughly doing his research. I will be very surprised if they find some kind of wrong doing on Jay-Z’s part. Could problem 100 be the NFLPA? Check out the report after the jump…
Via Mike Florio at PFT:
Amid speculation that the NFLPA will find a way to look the other way when it comes to Jay-Z’s involvement in representing players, multiple sources with knowledge of the union’s thinking tell PFT that the Players Association intends to proceed aggressively against any potential violations of the so-called “runner” rule committed by Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and/or NFLPA-certified agent Kim Miale.
The situation is being taken “really seriously,” one source said. Another source explained that the union has no choice but to act in response to flagrant flaunting of the rules behind a clumsily-veiled curtain that includes people like Geno Smith advisor John Thornton giving an on-the-record quote and then insisting he was misquoted, and Smith posting on social media a photo of himself with Jay-Z.
