“Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit and Washington”

All liberal sh*tholes and that is the problem.

Is it “people of color” or “black communities”? The headline doesn’t match the article. Is black the only color?

How is a “black community” defined? There’s a lot of black people right around the corner from me. My zip code has a significant amount of blacks. Are they going to come around and somehow check the color of everyone’s skin?
Methinks it all ends up in the hands of Jesse Jackson/Cornell West/Al Sharpton/et al.

Well, I guess “colored folk” is out of the question.

How many blacks pay the high price for tickets? The evil white man is how the NFL survives.

Sorry, but that is NOTHING.

That is the equivalent of me donating $50.

that is another thing, this isn’t something that is targeting black people more than anyone else, where is there support for hospitals and such and white people losing their jobs and businesses? Most of those blacks in places like DC and Detroit already on some government help and don’t work.

Seems like a pretty paltry sum for the NFL and a group of multi-millionaire players.

Don’t help them with coronavirus - help them with morbid obesity, diabetes, hypertension and hyper violent behaviors. The chronic factors.

Could someone SUE the NFL for racial discrimination? Only black communities, not WHITE COMMUNITIES! Let’s see them...

I wonder how many of these players marry someone from the inner city, raise children and build better communities through the multi-millions of dollars they have earned. If the overwhelming amount of players from such areas did that, I would imagine the large issues such as no running water as pointed out in this article would be eradicated. Build schools. Be strong father figures. Work together and clean up the mess. It would also help to stop voting Democrat.
