NFL to payout $100 Million to 'Social Justice'

Post by Techmomof2 »

The NFL’s sellout to their anthem-protesting players is starting to look a lot more like a buyout. According to ESPN, the league will offer nearly $100 million to causes designed to promote “social justice change.”
In a move unlike anything seen from a major American sports league, the league will offer the money in hopes that it will end the ratings-killing protest movement begun by Colin Kaepernick in the preseason of 2016.

According to ESPN:

The NFL’s multifaceted offer earmarks at least $89 million over a seven-year period for both national and local projects, according to documents reviewed by ESPN. On the national level, owners this year will allocate $5 million, with their commitment growing annually and maxing out at $12 million per year from 2021 through 2023.

At the local level, owners will put up $250,000 annually and expect players to match that amount, totaling $500,000 for each team. Players and owners can exceed that amount if they choose, with no matching requirement. In addition, there would be other fundraising opportunities, including telethons and auctions of jerseys worn in games.

Antoine Bolden the leader of the player coalition was on espn today, he said they will keep fighting for racial equality, I wish the interviewer would have asked him if that meant more white players in the nfl.....equality, right?

I have heard that the owners are paying for it by diverting money that would've been spent on Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Recognition of Military Personnel Program.

That's going to ruffle a few feathers!

Hey, if the players want to have input on how the NFL charitable funds are spent, then they can take the flak for the outcome. They need to choose...breast cancer, support for military personnel, or social justice.

from what I understand the TV networks are having to refund ad buys or give free commercials as the ratings are not close to what the ad buyers were promised...this gravy train is running into a rock wall soon.

Oh, if only someone would say that. Or to make things more equal, at least donate half of your salary to the inner city to really help someone.

Yep. I watched a 30 for 30 on Valvano on the woofpups recently though. Great episode. I remember following them the year they beat Phi Slamma. It marked the first year I was fully engaged with college BB.
