The NFL has decided they’re going to pay out $89 MILLION to a bunch of “social justice” organizations committed to racial equality for African Americans to get the anthem protests to stop…. since they’re not really great for business.
WOW! NFL or No🇺🇸League has agreed to pay $89 million to 3 different entities. United Negro College Fund, Dream Corps, & Players Coalition. So the NFL is now bribing their players to stand when it could simply be a team rule. These overpaid babies couldn’t fund this themselves? pic.twitter.com/l2DvuKLB9e

That’s why.
They’re taking the money from breast cancer and MILITARY charity funds to get the kneelers to stand up.
They REALLY thought that would work? They REALLY thought taking money from military charities would get people to forget that the NFL is full of America-hating, tantrum-throwing millionaires?
Think again.
The @NFL is working really, really hard to see if they can allienate EVERYBODY IN THE STANDS! They just formally proposed spending at least $89 million to social justice causes. That’s what your season and individual game tix $$ will be supporting…👎🤣👎 pic.twitter.com/Z6unv6fqgt

So who blew the whistle?
Eric Reid.
San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid isn’t satisfied with the arrangement reached by the NFL and a coalition of players headed by Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin to address social causes.
Reid, Miami Dolphins safety Michael Thomas and Los Angeles Chargers tackle Russell Okung were among players to remove their support from the group was an agreement was reached on Wednesday. In an interview with Jeremy Stahl of Slate, Reid said one of his points of contention is that the league’s pledge to allocate $90-100 million for social causes isn’t new money being offered by the owners. Instead, the money would be reallocated from the league’s current initiatives for Breast Cancer Awareness and Salute to Service in honoring veterans.
“So it would really be no skin off the owners’ backs. They would just move the money from those programs to this one,” Reid said.
“We didn’t agree with that, because we weren’t trying to cut other worthy programs. They moved forward anyways.”
Reid questioned much of the process between the league and the Jenkins-led group along with the motives and end game plans of both sides. He feels very few players support the agreement reached with Jenkins and that there was an implicit understanding that players would cease protests in exchange for the money being allocated by the league.
“”It’s a charade,” Reid said.
HAHAHA!
These idiots keep digging that hole, don’t they?
RIP, NFL.
