The social justice protests by NFL players didn’t start as a coordinated effort. They began with one player kneeling during the national anthem, then two, then dozens. It was an individual protest that went viral around the league.
Now, as the NFL Players Coalition tries to figure out it wants the league to do in response to their protests, it has become even more clear that everyone was never on the same page.
After the NFL offered to contribute nearly $100 million to “causes considered important to African-American communities” in exchange for the players to end protests, Miami Dolphins safety Michael Thomas and San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid withdrew from the Players Coalition, saying they felt “misled” by the decisions leadership has made on behalf of the players.
Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins and former wide receiver Anquan Boldin are considered the leaders of the Players Coalition.

Funny - they don't even know what they are protesting about...and then the NFL simply offers money!
NFL...Offering these ashats money will not help your cause! Boycott will continue and the insult will further our fury of these knee jerkers.
Real funny is that the Shield (NFL) wants to cover up that their players don't know what they are protesting about!
That's because is usually all it takes to shut up AA conflict. How's the saying go, "show me 'DA money" or "get 'DAT money". Their s bunch of f****** clowns.
The liberal way is to throw money at the situation and hope it gets better.
So it was sort of like ransom?? The NFL should know that this solution will not bring back viewers.
A certain race of people sure like to form 'coalitions'. Whenever two get together it's a 'coalition'.
That is because the ones kneeling don't want to come off of any money. For that matching contribution. They just wanted the attention. And the ones who were not kneeling to start with don't want to match the contribution because they didn't have anything to do with this.
Isn't it racist to ignore other minorities?
