And just where is the money coming from?

_______

Around one year of the Commissioner's salary would almost do.

One more nail in the NFL coffin.

This fund is racist bribery.

My veteran of WWII dad will be rolling in his grave. Football is officially gay. A dance for socialist fags in tights slapping each other on their tight butts

Further proof that Roger Goodell and the NFL owners haven’t got a clue as to “what the problem is”.

The agreement does not include language calling for players to end protests during the national anthem in exchange for funds;...

BOYCOTT THE NFL!!! FOREVER!!!

Boycott, regardless if they ever stop kneeling!

“They are so done, so finished and just oh so clueless. “

Yeah, bad precedent for sure. There will be more to come. Also, higher ticket prices will turn off more fans. Goodell and owners who support him are just plain stupid - and gutless.

Are we all missing it...

Does this thing all unravel so fast that the Municipalities and the Teams in those Stadiums take it in the shorts like we have never seen and default on the Muni-Bonds? You have some cities that might not be financially healthy to begin with, can they really afford this, No.

What do they do with the Stadiums afterwards? Giant White Elephants they will be.

Perhaps this is good, Culture of Savages Borders, Language, and Culture is possibly being changed back. The Bread and Circus aspect to Football and what today is called Music is driving people away from both of them, maybe we are getting off the "Dole" rather than the crowds screaming to increase it, and they did it to themselves, we are just responding to save ourselves from their madness, as we walk away.

Jeez... what a way to double-down on stupid! Do they really think their fans give a rodent’s rectum about those issues?

I’m wondering which groups pushing for two-parent families and improved K-12 education will be seeing a windfall? After all, these are perhaps the key shortcomings in the minority community.

A victory for BLM and other SJW groups with hands outstretched.Unless of course people turn off the damn channel and not buy the tickets and utterly reject what has turned into a vehicle for left-wing politics.

A drop in the bucket compared to the tens of trillions of dollars spent since Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty 50 years ago. WHICH DID NOTHING to quench the thirst of the dindu nuffin crowd. So, good luck, NFL. Fools.

Burn them to the ground. They will have a hard time paying $100 million in blood money if they are bankrupt.
