Players Coalition reportedly strikes $89 million deal with NFL team owners

Plagued by sagging ratings, player protests and fan outrage, the NFL has thrown a political Hail Mary by reportedly agreeing to dole out millions of dollars to two social justice groups connected to Democratic billionaire George Soros.

Under an agreement with the Players Coalition, NFL owners plan to funnel tens of millions of dollars to the Dream Corps, a leftist advocacy group led by former Obama adviser Van Jones and linked to Mr. Soros, which has called for saving the Clean Power Plan, cutting the prison population by half and providing “sanctuary for all.”

The $89 million, seven-year deal also carves out millions of dollars for the Players Coalition, according to ESPN, which has been advised by Soros-funded groups such as the Campaign for Fair Sentencing of Youth and the Center for American Progress, a leader of the anti-Trump “resistance.”

NFL and ESPN = leftist thugs.

Previous news stories pointed out that there is NO NEW MONEY — they are JUST redirecting money that was going to true charities (like breast cancer research

I saw that.

Even so - they aren't doing anything to make the loud-talking "Kneelers" contribute - to get some "skin in the game".

No matter where the NFL money is coming from; new money or old money, my suggestion is to make it on a matching funds basis.

I would bet that if the "Kneelers" have to put their own money in up front they would lose interest in throwing money at "Social Justice" pretty fast.

What you did takes commitment.

Well done.
