Players Coalition reportedly strikes deal with team owners
(WASHINGTON TIMES) — Plagued by sagging ratings, player protests and fan outrage, the NFL has thrown a political Hail Mary by reportedly agreeing to dole out millions of dollars to two social justice groups connected to Democratic billionaire George Soros.
Under an agreement with the Players Coalition, NFL owners plan to funnel tens of millions of dollars to the Dream Corps, a leftist advocacy group led by former Obama adviser Van Jones and linked to Mr. Soros, which has called for saving the Clean Power Plan, cutting the prison population by half and providing “sanctuary for all.”
The $89 million, seven-year deal also carves out millions of dollars for the Players Coalition, according to ESPN, which has been advised by Soros-funded groups such as the Campaign for Fair Sentencing of Youth and the Center for American Progress, a leader of the anti-Trump “resistance.”

The problem is not meeting the demands of the players, it is meeting the desires of the fans. this just turns me off more. it is the progressives that started this in the first place now papa soros is getting millions to fund more crap
Now watch the bottom fall out of the NFL. Soon to follow, players turn to drug sales and worse.
SO what, you give them millions of your money and that will stop the protest??? Then that is all it was ever about and not some justice... So the this be a lesson to you lazy, stupid fat people who don't know shit about anything but think you do...
Makes no difference. They are trying to bribe the wrong ones. As long as those players are still in the game nothing will change...
Be prepared ladies and gents , it's a commin .The NFL has just shown their true colors , or should I say color , black.
Democrats for destroying America hard at work.
Money not going to solve what American people saw. The hole the players dug may be too deep to get out of.
this is the end of the NFL... they should just play football and stay out of politics... what a disgrace!!! if they were serious they would do something about black on black crime... much higher then there fake story of police killing them. bunch of rich privileged overpaid losers who want to protest their flag because of injustice. give me a break..this country made you rich. go somewhere else and play you heartless bastards.. r baker
I heard the amount ($89M) is being re-directed to the other charities the NFL supports. Meaning $89M less going to X charities.
Something doesn't smell right here.
Now we have 7 years of boycott ahead of us! Time to stop buying from any of their advertisers....
Anheuser-Busch, Barclaycard US, Bose, Bridgestone, Campbell’s Soup Company, Castrol (BP), Courtyard Marriott, Dairy Management, Inc., Dannon, Extreme Networks, FedEx, Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Hyundai Motor America, Mars Snackfood, Microsoft, Nationwide, News America (News Corp/Fox Entertainment Group), Pepsi, Procter & Gamble, Quaker Oats, Verizon, Visa, USAA.
89 million nails in the NFL coffin.
A lot of people had their tickets this season before the racist kneeling started so I expect next years attendance to be way down compared to this years as most will not be buying season tickets.
They may have well just flushed those millions down the crapper.
Giving money to Anarchist is not a solution. Cut all tax dollars and tax breaks to the NFL. No more NFL for me.
Anybody still on the fence with this stuff, this information should be enough for you wise up. Soro's and Obumer related charities...please! Every time you purchase a ticket, jersey, etc..you are directly funding these POS. Let's not forget the players that could care less about the fans by stating "don't come-stay home" and "bye".
After Soros takes his cut...
Van Jones was an Obama "Energy Guru" who cost American taxpayers over $580 million by investing in failed energy companies. Independent consulting companies told the government it was a huge waste of tax dollars to invest in these 'pie in the sky' energy companies.But Obama and Van Jones went ahead anyway with the program and two years later the money was gone, companies went under and Van Jones put his tail between his legs and then went to CNN as an "energy expert" consultant.
There he is again calling everyone fat, stupid, and lazy. You need medication and a hobby, Gramps! What is the lesson, exactly? That you troll message boards? Your last sentence seems to best describe yourself. Especially with the rant preceding it.
