TAKE A KNEE!
Rihanna is standing with Kaepernick.
On Thursday, reports surfaced that Rihanna turned down the NFL’s offer for her to perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show because she doesn’t agree with NFL’s stance on Colin Kaepernick.
The source told US Weekly: “The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta. They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.”
Apparently, after Rihanna turned down NFL’s offer, that’s when they asked Adam Levine & Maroon 5 to perform, which they accepted back in September.
To recall the reason behind Rihanna’s decision, Colin Kaepernick was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality back in 2016, which results in him being kicked out of the league with owners not wanting that attention on their sidelines. Colin has since filed a grievance against the league and its owners in November 2017, accusing them of colluding to keep him from playing football.
