The NFL is going to bankroll a social activism boot camp for professional athletes in February, according to a new report.
The league has agreed to finance a social activism boot camp at Morehouse College in February, ESPNs Jim Trotter reported on Monday.
The boot camp will reportedly take place over two days and will include professional athletes from other leagues besides the NFL. And then, the organizers of that curriculum will work with the players throughout the year to try and teach them to get their message out and be most effective with it, Trotter added.
The NFL has also reportedly agreed to back criminal justice reform legislation recently introduced by a bipartisan group of senators.
The NFLs reported moves follows players lobbying the league for more support for their political activism. Recent surveys have found that Americans want professional athletes to keep their political activism off the field.

Truly pathetic.
Just like Jane Fonda used to do for actors and actresses in Hollywood. How generous!
Oooofah...
Actions have consequences
Wow.
We will fund leftists training camps on how to take down the United States.
Right...
That will make the fans happy!
Spreading treason.
"In the autumn winds comes a liberal. Liberals who believe that athletes should virtue signal and disrespect the flag and national anthem."

This horsesh*t should make the fans happy.
Indoctrination camps in sports’ leagues now.
Oh boy.
This must be a woman’s idea backed up by Josephine Lockhart. Lol

Well, it will be the first time most of those athletes’ lives where they have been in an educational setting where they actually paid attention.
“blame whitey, blame america, take whitey’s money, blame whitey, blame america, take whitey’s money...”
The NFL are tone deaf morons.
If the fan opinions were to ridicule kneeling players, tough stuff. If fan placards insulted sponsor business practices, tough stuff. And once the league cracked down on fan political opinions, I think it would be tough to find a sympathetic jury for the league in any likely resulting FoS lawsuit.
NFL needs to re-name their teams to comport with their all out leftist agenda.
Miami Marxists. Cincinnati communitarians. SF Satinists.
Training Camps....
On how to be a Loser?
Dayum. When are they going to start planting dummies in those empty seats?
...at Morehouse College in February... over two days and will include professional athletes from other leagues besides the NFL.And, I'm now all done with the NFL.
