New York Jets' senior manager of partnerships Anthony Bulak reached out to Blue Lives Matter founder Joe Imperatrice in hopes of partnering with the organization this season only to be rejected immediately, according to The New York Post.
Imperatrice refused the proposal on the grounds that the current NFL political climate does not align with the group's mission of respecting first responders. The pro-cop non-profit cited the current NFL protests as a sign of disrespect towards "our first responders, our military members both past and present and our flag."

I wouldn’t, if there were any players standing up for America, in fact, I think a couple pro-America players would greatly diminish the protesters’ clout. Unfortunately, the ones who don’t hate America, of which I am sure there are many, are promoting the haters by remaining silent, or claiming they support players’ rights to protest.
