NFL owners seem poised to donate nearly $100 million (including some contributions from players) over seven years to support the favorite social justice causes of the players. But in a perfect show of how incompetent they are, the owners will get nothing from the players in return. No promise to stop disrespecting the national anthem or any other meaningful concessions.
Who taught these clowns to negotiate, Neville Chamberlain? Obviously, they are used to trying to buy their way out of problems. Can you even imagine the sum total spent bailing their pampered players out of legal beefs, domestic violence and sexual misconduct issues? It would likely dwarf even Congress and Hollywood. But do they really think this will solve their problem?
Now the owners have taught the players that disrupting the business that feeds them all will bring the players more satchels of cash to toss around to pet causes, in a frenzy of virtue signaling.
I will go out on a limb and bet this has the complete opposite effect and the players will go back to the well constantly for more Dane-geld. Dane-geld is the money that used to be paid to Viking marauders long ago to stop them from attacking your country. But as Rudyard Kipling pointed out in a poem:
So the NFL owners look like they will cave in and hope, hopelessly, that this will buy them some good will. Sadly, it will simply embolden the modern-day Vikings and Raiders and Buccaneers to continue their blackmail, lest the looting of TV ratings commence again."
“That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.”

Democrat Presidents conduct foreign policy in this way, but with more zeros.
Cuckitude at a galactic level. The NFL owners are marching like lemmings to the sea.
Another reason not to support the NFL.
Negotiation guaranteed not to offend -—
“You can have anything you want,
but that’s my final offer.”
This will throw gas on the fire. Go ahead NFL play russian roulette with a fully loaded semi auto.
North Korea has benefited from such tactics during
Democratic and Republican administrations alike.
Until now.
After this, they couldn’t pay anyone to watch their stupid games.
They honestly have no clue what the bond was between themselves and their fans that allowed them to become fabulously wealthy, why it was that the fans once would have walked over broken glass to support their favorite teams, and they are throwing it all away.
Well the Fans should stop throwing their money away
Be fun when tickets are so cheap to get on StubHub, that hoodrats start buying them up and going to the games, and freaking out the corporate honchos in the luxury suites.
Thanks NFL. You went from some of my money being used to pay anti-American jackasses kneeling to directly funding the racist anti-white BLM movement. Not another dime.
NFL. Chapter 11. Three years.
George Soros is behind the destruction of the NFL folks. You heard it hear first. Nobody can be this stupid to piss away a billion-dollar enterprise.
Friends don’t have Freinds that watch NFL
Malcolm Jenkins of the Eagles has now said he won’t raise his fist in protest during the National Anthem this coming Sunday because the NFL has promised this payment - it’s more in the nature of extortion - you’d better do what I want or there’ll be trouble - that a bribe.....
That is YOUR money, fans
You didn’t know you were subsidizing #BLM, did you?
Once the NFL starts paying the shakedown it won’t stop until it’s broke. Works for me.
Probably be cheaper to get folks that love America to play football in the big stadiums on Sundays.
Protection money and “NFL reparations”, pure and simple.
And guaranteed, even if they didn’t kneel, they would still manage to be disrespectful to the flag, with arm linking and such. Did the owners let Obama negotiate this deal? Pallets of cash in the cover of night soon to follow.
