That should bring back the fans!

Not. Amazingly, they don't understand their fan base.

This is small change for the NFL, anyway. It's a little more than $14 million per year. The NFL probably spends a lot more than that every year striping the parking lots. Derek Carr makes $25 million per year.

And they think that just because they're going to donate money to so-called "social justice" causes that that'll justify what the players have been doing or placate the fans?

If anything, it'll make the fan base even more irate! The NFL caved, and people will know it!

Whaaaat? You don’t think they’ll spend the money where it is most sorely needed!?

Good. That will make the league bankrupt even faster.

And the stupid white male with NFL sponsored beer in hand and NFL jersey on, will be helping to support it.

If you’re stuck on stupid then I guess it seems right to spread it around.

What are the chances that the NFL won’t exist in seven years?

That’s a happy sight to see. Needs to happen to all of them.

In an earlier thread I had proposed a five year boycott—guess it will have to be seven years now.

By that time I will have forgotten what the NFL is.

That was my first thought awhile back. Looks like the players have just graduated from the Jesse Jackson School of Shakedown.

Bender will continue to worship at the altar of the NFL with his obscene NFL Picks threads . . . and post his “Up Yours” to all that disagree with him.

The Bender2s of the world will help the NFL through these trying times.

They call it Goodell disease.

The only known cure is pre-frontal lobotomy.

great! hope they bankrupt themselves in the process, because they have less money to give with attendance and viewership down.
