Beyonce & Jay-Z Not Standing Up on National Anthem Sparks Outrage

The Superbowl has certainly brought in an array of bees coming in where the usual ones are always related to several trailers and first looks of major shows and films coming in.

Little did we know that one event is going to invite special outrage amongst the viewers. Power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce were also present at the Superbowl and a video of them has been surfacing online that has invited a lot of backlash.

Jay-Z, a co-producer of the halftime show featuring Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, announced his Roc Nation company had entered a partnership with the NFL for events and social activism last year. The rapper received immediate backlash since he had become one of the biggest supporters of Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a fissure in the NFL when he decided to kneel when the national anthem was played before games to protest the killings of blacks by police officers.

Jay-Z's response was that he still supports protesting, kneeling and Kaepernick, but he’s also interested in working with the league to make substantial changes.

Representatives for Jay-Z and Beyoncé didn't immediately reply to emails seeking comment.
