Colin Kaepernick Seemingly Responds to Jay-Z and the NFL’s Inspire Change Apparel Announcement: ‘Reading Always Gives Me Clarity’

Jay-Z and NFL announced the next phase of their partnership this morning and like a lot of people, Colin Kaepernick isn’t really feeling it.

In case you missed it, instead of using their massive combined wealth to fund Inspire Change initiatives and criminal justice reform — the NFL and Jay-Z have decided to sell a line of apparel with part of the proceeds going to the cause.

In addition, Roc Nation artists Meek Mill and Megan Trainor will perform a free NFL Kickoff concert.

Not long after the announcement, Colin took to social media to share a rather timely passage.

Take a look:

Reading always gives me clarity.
