NFL Airs Anti-Police Brutality Ad During The Super Bowl + Blackballed Colin Kaepernick Does Charity Instead + The Carters Criticized For Not Standing During National Anthem

There’s drama following Super Bowl LIV! (Shocker, right?) The NFL interestingly aired an anti-police brutality commercial during the game, sans blackballed player Colin Kaepernick. Find out what Kap was doing during the game, plus the controversy surrounding Beyonce & Jay-Z sitting during the National Anthem inside…

The behind-the-scenes drama seems to be just as entertaining as the actual game for this year’s Super Bowl LIV.

As we all know, the commercials that play during the Super Bowl are a big deal, so when an anti-police brutality ad popped up during the big game it def took folks by surprise. Like, the hypocrisy and irony is unmatched.

After blackballing former 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick for kneeling in protest of police brutality, the National Football League had the nerve to air an anti-police brutality commercial during the big game. The spot featured the murder of Botham Jean – a black man killed inside his own apartment by white cop Amber Guyger. In the clip, Botham’s family share photos and videos of Botham, explaining how the world lost a wonderful human being in a senseless act of violence.

The commercial was good. There’s no taking away from the message of the commercial. However, isn’t this what Kaepernick was kneeling for? To bring awareness to police brutality?

In 2016, Colin Kaepernick started a silent protest where he took a knee during the National Anthem to help bring awareness to police brutality and racial injustices. His actions eventually resulted in the former QB being blackballed from the league, yet they air a commercial with the SAME message he has been trying to spread to the masses?

The ad seems to be part of the NFL’s initiative called Inspire Change, which is a campaign spearheaded by Jay-Z last year when he inked his deal with the league. The campaign is dedicated to “education and economic empowerment, police and community relations, and criminal justice reform.”

So why now does the NFL seemingly see the issue with police brutality, but didn't see the vision about why the NFL platform IS a place for this to be discussed when Colin Kaepernick took a knee?

It didn't go unnoticed:

And then, in an ultimate hold my beer moment, the @NFL, who blackballed Kaep for years for protesting cops killing unarmed black men, had an ad about effecting social change by fighting to reduce the number of unarmed black men killed by police.

You can't make this shit up.

No, no, no @NFL! DO NOT HALF-STEP!!! You want to do the right thing by running the "Inspire Change"/ Unjustified Police Brutality commercials? I sincerely think that's great. But don't you dare continue to do it without giving @Kaepernick7 a fair shot at getting back into the NFL

— Cornell Lawrence (@CornellLawrenc3) February 3, 2020

Black people are not to be tokenized for political exploitation.

Two rich, racist presidential candidates conveyed white savior complex. @Kaepernick7 took a knee to protest police brutality, only to have the @NFL publicize an ad on police brutality.

Billionaires are https://t.co/ZynV6GOL6d

The hypocrisy.

While his former team played in the Super Bowl, Colin Kaepernick was busy giving back!

The former NFL star made his way to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem yesterday where he spent time meeting the employees and touring the building. Then, he teamed up with Carolina Panthers safety/his friend Eric Reid and 100 Suits for 100 Men at the SCO Family Shelter in Jamaica, Queens to pass out suits to men. The organization 100 Suits for 100 Men is a non-profit that gifts clothing to men and women looking for jobs.

After that, Colin helped serve meals at the Shelter with help from the LES Girls Club and Know Your Rights volunteers.

Check it below:

There was more controversy from the Super Bowl...

WATCH: While thousands of proud Americans stood in-allegiance for the National Anthem, Jay-Z and Beyonce sat in silence.

America has no place for unpatriotic scum like these two.

Kick them and Colin Kaepernick right down to Mexico!#fixit pic.twitter.com/4JlEAKhd4i

As Demi Lovato belted out the National Anthem, Beyonce & Jay-Z were recorded sitting during her performance. And that caused social media to go into a frenzy.

Beyonce and Jay-Z should be thanking America not disgracing it! pic.twitter.com/Zu6iw7kReK

There was backlash when Kaeprnick kneeled during the Anthem, and now Beyonce and Jay-Z. Thing is, there's too much information on this matter for people not to understand why African Americans are disinterested in standing during the Anthem.

— SirVincent Rogers Sr. (@SirV55) February 3, 2020

What a disgusting act of shame.

Beyonce and Jay-Z remained seated during the National Anthem at the Super Bowl.

This country has given them the opportunity to be everything they are, and they reward it by disgracing the Flag and Anthem!

Our service heroes deserve more respect!

Eric Reid also posted up on tweets, seemingly firing shots at the Carters:

He also retweeted these tweets on his timeline:

Y’all the fake caring about Black people and injustice ads aren’t for us. It’s for white people, to make them not feel bad about supporting racist politicians & policies. Why would you think they care about us when they continue to kill us?

— Bree Newsome Bass (@BreeNewsome) February 3, 2020

After news of Hov's deal with the NFL, the Hip Hop mogul said he still supports Kap, but said, “We’ve moved past kneeling. I think it’s time to go into actionable items.” Mr. Carter also said he had spoken to Colin about the deal before it was made public, but the former QB denied those reports.

After Bey & Jay's video went viral, Colin himself even fired a shot. He reposted an IG Stories originally posted by Miko Grimes, the wife of Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes, where she's criticisizing Bey & Jay sitting during the National Anthem with the "thinking" anamoji and the caption, "I thought we were past kneeling tho?":

Bigot Barbie Tomi Lahren didn't waste any time verbally attacking The Carters on social media:

Beyoncé & Jay-Z (former crack dealer)sit for the national anthem because apparently the United States of America has oppressed them with millions upon millions of dollars & fans. Sounds rough. Maybe they should try another country that allows them a little more freedom & success?

— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) February 3, 2020

"Beyonce & Jay-Z (former crack dealer) sit for the national anthem because apparently the United States of America has oppressed them with millions upon millions of dollars & fans," she tweeted. "Sounds rough. Maybe they should try another country that allows them a little more freedom & success?"

She's always looking for her little 15 minutes of fame. She knows more than anyone that exercising the right to protest is more American and shows more love for this country than anybody in her party.

Decked out in Ivy Park x Adidas threads, daytime talk show host Wendy Williams said Bey & Jay should have stood during the anthem while delivering her Hot Topics segment today:

So, she's dragging Bey while wearing her clothing? Oh. She also threw in that her stylist "received the clothes a few weeks ago," seemingly trying to hint Beyoncé - who is known to not have a relationship with Wendy - gifted the clothes to them. But who even knows.

Outside of the drama, Bey shared flicks from her personal stash of her Super Bowl outfit:

The Lion King star rocked a green Balmain suit accessorized with Messika Paris jewelry.

Baby-confronted comic and actor Hal Sparks started his professional career in Chicago as a member of the teenage troupe of the celebrated Second City improv group. After winning a regional contest and being named â€śFunniest Teenager in Chicagoâ€ť (1987) by the Chicago Sun Times in the Windy City, Sparks got his 1st style in front of the TV camera as Jim in the PBS film Frog (1987) before landing the gig as a host of the syndicated childrenâ€s game show â€śTreasure Mall (1988). A year later, he made his film acting debut as Lance, a blind orphan, opposite Billy Bob Thornton, in the unsuccessful Chopper Chicks in Zombietown. Armed with a 4-year successful stint with Second City, Hal made his way to Los Angeles and before long began performing at a number of comedy clubs like The Comedy Store, The Improv, The Laugh Factory, The Ice House, and at Comic Reliefâ€s American Comedy Festival. He kept on his presence as an actor by taking on guest starring roles in such series as â€śLois & Clark: The New Adventures of Supermanâ€ť (1994), â€śDr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1995),â€ť also as playing small roles in films like CBS drama Signs and Wonders (1995, TV) and the comedy Lost & Found (1999), starring David Spade.

In 1999, Sparks was chosen to substitute John Henson, Greg Kinnearâ€s replacement, to host the Emmy winning â€śTalk Soupâ€ť on E! Entertainment Television. Sparks was popular to TV audiences for bringing a frenzied calories and slightly softer take to the duties than the conceited Kinnear and the snarky Henson. However, he resigned the hosting gigs in May 2000 to pursue acting opportunities.

Next up for Sparks, he was cast in the small role of cult adder Zoltan in the hit comedy Dude, Whereâ€s My Car? (2000), directed by Danny Leiner and starred Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott and Jennifer Garner. He also accepted probably his most demanding role, as Michael Charles Novotny-Bruckner, a semi-closeted gay man handling with his domineering mother and his friends in Showtimeâ€s Americanized version of the British hit â€ťQueer as Folkâ€ť (2000-01, 2005). His voice could also be heard voicing two animal characters in the 20th Century Fox film Dr. Dolittle 2 (2002). Besides, he appeared as a guest star in a number of TV series like â€śMartial Lawâ€ť (2000), â€śRendez-Viewâ€ť (2001, 2002), â€śOne on Oneâ€ť (2002), â€śFrasierâ€ť (2003), and made a TV film titled Bleacher Bums (2002), adapted from the critically- acclaimed play of the same name.

In 2003, Sparks had a feature role as a publisher in the Sam Weisman-directed Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, a comedy co-written by Fred Wolf and David Spade. He played supporting role of Deputy Dale in director/writer Robert Hallâ€s horror film Lightning Bug (2004) and appeared as a passenger in an elevator in Spider-Man 2 (2004). He also undertook the small role of the captain of the Chicago Hitmen team on GSNâ€s â€śExtreme Dodgeballâ€ť (2004), hosted G4â€s â€śVideo Game Vixensâ€ť (2005), as well as guest starred in â€śCSI: Crime Scene Investigationâ€ť (2005).

During his hectic schedule, Sparks also was seen on action performing in such plays as â€śEquus,â€ť â€śThe Elephant Man,â€ť and â€śBrighton Beach Memoirs.â€ť Besides, he always provides time for a metal band called The Zero 1, in which he serves as the lead vocal and guitarist along with members Robert Hall (Sparksâ€ friend) on bass and Miles Loretta (Sparksâ€ cousin) on drum.
