The payment for this will ultimately be funneled down to the fans. Guess the NFL wants to go down like ESPN.

NFL agrees to commit $100M over seven years to social justice causes

Dont believe the hype.
ESPN and the NFL both still making billions.

The players were protesting to raise awareness and help the advancement of AAs.

Is it hush money? Yeah of course but does it not help that cause? What else are they supposed to do?

Again the players keep making this about themselves and not a cause.

So how is this bad? The NFL supports a lot of charities. Are you one of those who think they only have breast cancer awareness because they feel guilty about domestic violence?

NFL playing games with the money. Going to take money from other initiatives, take from women and military causes and give to blacks. And use player money...lol

Taking away from other causes? Where you see that?

It is for new causes. It isn't redirected money.

take this whining to the politics board

And who really cares what the NFL does with their extra money.

Dumbass statement.

Btw, you do realize the federal government pays the NFL to do those surprise "coming home" publicity events. They don't have a heart and they never will. That's why players had to do something about it.

What percentage of sales of those products actually goes to breast cancer foundations?

the NFL gives 90% of its "cut" on merchandise sales to American cancer society.

however, thats only about 12% of the purchase price. 50% goes to the seller, who could be a team or the NFL on the website or Academy. haven't seen where that money goes. You'd need to look at the team's records and also owner's own personal charity donations for a fair number.

Also November being military month or veterans month or whatever is paid for by the govt to the NFL.

It's all nothing but hush money. I think the NFL should get out of all social causes, period. But now they're just paying hush money to race pimps instead of the government.

The NFL shouldn't care about social causes? That makes no sense.
