The stupid white male with NFL $10 sponsored beer in hand $100 NFL jersey on and $40 NFL hat and will be helping to support it.

Don't worry, the above will only happen to those with Jock Itch for brains and zero sense of Flag and Patriotism! They have been lost causes forever.

Thanks maggief for posting this.

Liz do you have any data on these so called charities.

My gut feeling is most of this $100 million will go to leftist so called non profits.

The NFL thinks funding black KKK and anti-cop groups will improve their PR. It will only improve it with the fake media. By not watching, I defund both groups.

The sad part is they will never figure out why they are failing.

“Keep paying for cable. Keep going to the games. Keep buying the gear.

YOU’RE PAYING FOR THIS S**T, RUBES!!!”

Those of us with half of a brain, cut our cables and gone to Sling BLUE or another tv provider that does not carry ESPN, Disney and ABC!

We are saving about $125 per month, and we are not funding the National Felon League.

Good for you!

I use an OTA antenna I bought for ~$9. I pay $0 to watch. Done with paying to be insulted while simultaneously funding entities that hate my (White, Christian, heterosexual male) existence.

Blood money. Bribery. Payola. The real racists have done it again.

And please show me what that $100 million will do or accomplish?

Zip. Nada. Nothing. Just like the trillions thrown at the Great Society, welfare, the poor.

And nothing has changed.

But those who are doing the bribery are getting richer.

We are witnessing a nation collapse. Thank God for one man doing all he can to turn it around.......

For years business schools used the Coke decision to switch to New Coke as an example of what can happen even when on paper it seems like the obvious thing to do.

Interesting historical tidbit... After the whole 'coke' 'new coke' business was completed, and everything had shaken out, CocaCola had gained 6% market share. Despite how the entire thing was covered in the popular press and elsewhere, it wasn't as 'boneheaded' a move as most people seem to think.

Let’s look at what this really says.

The NFL has just agreed with the players who are spitting on the flag.

Those players are saying that all us middle class white people (You know, the average NFL fan) are all racist and need to be destroyed.

So the NFL is now saying that their fans are all racist and need to be destroyed.

Do they really think this will win us back? Are they really that stupid or just that evil?

Yes, they gained it back only after losing it, then making the people happy by admitting they blew it and switching back. Remember “We heard you America - Original Coke is BACK!” A lot of credit was given to how they handled the outcry from the people.

At the time, I worked for a market research company that handled all the telephone surveys for CocaCola. I watched the whole thing very closely from start to finish and found it all extremely fascinating. I was able to identify at least 5 or 6 different formulations that were being tested out nationwide. It wasn't just one "New Coke". You should have seen some of the surveys they had for when they finally switched back and they were trying to figure out what name to settle on for 'old' coke. One had this really long paragraph of really confusing names proffered. Then, you had to actually say, "I realize that might have been somewhat confusing, so I'd like to read it to you again". You had to do it, while at the same time praying the poor folks on the phone didn't hang up on you. The thing I found most interesting about the studies near the end of it all, was that you'd open the call asking for what exactly had been purchased in the past week. You'd get people on the phone who would answer, coke, coke, coke to those questions, then when you got to the part asking about New Coke, they'd tell you how much they hated it. ... but they were still buying it. Like I said, it was really neat to be involved. I was a supervisor at the time, but still spent plenty of time on the phone, especially when it got later in the evening and you had quotas to fill.

Afterwards, I saw almost nothing but really disparaging comments about the whole ordeal, but I've had a different view, personally.

The deal should have included concessions by protesters. Without that it's nothing more than an old style 'guilty white person' shakedown...

"Social Justice" is a term which has come to be used to mean the exact opposite! This is a really stupid move on the part of the League!

See Not "Social" & Not "Just".
