The NFL and a group of players reached an agreement in principle late Wednesday night to partner on a plan to address social justice issues considered important to African-American communities, ESPN has learned.
The unprecedented agreement calls for the league to contribute nearly $100 million over seven years to projects dealing with criminal justice reform, law enforcement/community relations and education.
During a conference call Wednesday night, Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin, who lead roughly 40 players who have negotiated with the league office about demonstrations during the national anthem, guided the group through the highlights of the package, which represents the NFL's largest contribution to a social issue, surpassing that of Salute to Service or Breast Cancer Awareness/Crucial Catch.
The partnership came a day after some players broke away from the Players Coalition because of their dissatisfaction with how Jenkins and Boldin have handled negotiations. Commissioner Roger Goodell, believing that an agreement was at hand, was furious when ESPN reported that players were breaking off, according to one source. But during an afternoon call, Jenkins asked that the commissioner and the owners continue to stand with the players and allow them to do important work in the community.
The agreement does not include language calling for players to end protests during the national anthem in exchange for funds; there's no implicit quid pro quo. But the NFL hopes this effort will effectively end the peaceful yet controversial movement that former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started in 2016, when he refused to stand for the anthem.

It seems to me that half the players in the NFL are there because of social justice. They get racial preferences to play football in college that white athletes rarely get. They get preferential treatment at every starting and backup position on the field...unless tthey play for the Patriots. This adds up to far more than hundreds of millions! Football has become a welfare program.
“The unprecedented agreement calls for the league to contribute nearly $100 million over seven years to projects dealing with criminal justice reform, law enforcement/community relations and education.”
So nothing on how to end black on black crime, how to create families and to prepare youth for the job market? Just, how to get the police to stop shooting armed criminals?
Yup, the NFL is dead to me.
Professional football is black on black crime
it has degenerated to Blackball
They should now be required to register as a PAC.
Godell is assuming that he will have the funds to do that.
Joke will be on him.
That is saying something. Philly really supports their Iggles.
Sell Now Jerry Jones.
How long until Jesse Jackson and his ilk latch onto the scent of the $$$$$ and hijack it?
Roger Goodell has officially politicized the NFL.
The NFL is now Social Justice Warriors (SJW) causes like ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter.
I predict the NFL will be gone in 10 years.
“...there’s no implicit quid pro quo”
Apparently the nfl believes we are imbeciles. My boycott of a professional sport I loved will last for the rest of my life.
Will the NFL provide incentives for stable, two parent families?
No!..lol....out of the fans pockets
If I were structuring the deal, All kneelers would “donate” 10% of their salaries to the “FUND”...Blacks would donate 20% and take control of it ...Empower them!
I SO AGREE!!!!!
BOYCOTT THE NFL .. PERIOD!!!!!!!
Hahaha. The nfl is dieing. the blm crowed of ingrates and losers has taken it over. Who cares what they do with their dwindling money?
So...Goodell DOES negotiate with BLM Terrorists!
*SPIT*
NFL = NATIONAL FELON LEAGUE! = FAKE SOCIAL JUSTICE!
Do they have $100 million to throw down the toilet?
Sources: NFL agrees to commit nearly $100M over seven years to social justice causes
This moron actually thinks that appeasing the BLM and their overt lies will solve the problem he has. He is looking at the wrong end of his problem. Now that the BLM has revealed their dislike for America there is NO COMING BACK!
It is the public that has to be satisfied not the BLM. Thug Ball is over.
If anybody else used the word "negro" ....
Keep paying for cable. Keep going to the games. Keep buying the gear.
YOU’RE PAYING FOR THIS S**T, RUBES!!!
