Amid the controversial protests and comments across the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks started a donation fund Friday for "equality and justice."
The team announced the “Seahawks Players Equality & Justice for All Action Fund” in a statement on their website, as a way to combat “injustice and inequality by supporting leadership and education programs.”
In a statement signed by the players, they said the program will fund “programs addressing equality and justice” with hopes to “build a more compassionate and inclusive society.”

Well they can just officially join the BLM instead of an affiliation thru the NFL.
Maybe they could eliminate affirmative action in the name of equality.
These guys are pushing a false meme that may wind up causing folks to only be able to donate in memory of what used to be the NFL.
Oh damn! I left my checkbook in the car. I’ll be
right back.
An anti-LEO fund.
Hey, they got my hopes up there for a minute. I make quite a bit less than the average professional football player, so I figure in the name of equality they’re gonna slip me some cash. Waited all morning out by the mailbox but didn’t get a thing. It’s racism.
I’d rather donate to a fund that fights stupidly and ignorance.
We need women football players.
Here's a piece of 'Truth' for the NFL players crying over black men killed by cops:
“Do you know anyone who has been struck by lightning?
Neither do most people. Yet each year an average of about 300 Americans are killed or injured by lightning.
That’s approximately 40 more than the number of blacks killed by the police in 2015.
Is there an “epidemic” of Americans being struck and injured by lightning?

Want to avoid getting shot?
Obey the officer. Don’t confront him/her refusing to put hands up or whatever they ask. Simple.
But noooooo..
These folks have to show they are ‘special’ and don’t have to obey authority.
Showing off for their peers.
Cops are antsy these days because of all the cop killings, assassinations. Can you blame them?
Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were listening.
The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised “Meet The Press”. From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Gann’ USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, “Stand and Face It”.
Senator Obama replied :
“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides.” “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.” “The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.”
Obama continued: “The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing’. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.
It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ......”
When I Become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past”.
“Of course now, I have found myself about to become The President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside . I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.”
Yes, you read it right.

Wow...missed that one. Thanks.
Maybe Pete Carroll can get them to spend part of it on proving the govt was behind 9/11, since Carroll’s a truther.
Carrol is a truther? I have disliked him since his days in college ball. His team once had a handicap parking scandal.
Full and open disclosure of how and where the money will be spent, I presume? Lol...
Corporations think they can get away with pandering to Liberal virtue signaling, and Conservatives will just keep on buying their products. We have the power to show them otherwise.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, and pollution were all once legitimate issues. Now, they’re just excuses for Liberals to engage in political propaganda.
We don’t need corporations to “make the world a better place”. Just give us a good product to buy, and shut the hell up. Or we’ll take our business elsewhere.
Yes, the NFL is all about equality. Everyone has an equal opportunity to play in the NFL and make those millions. Right.
They can start by firing liar/instigator Bennett.....
