Former NFL running back Herschel Walker accused the NFL of essentially giving out "hush money" to stop players from kneeling for the national anthem.
The 1982 Heisman Trophy winner highlighted the fact that the NFL in late November offered $100 million to social justice organizations favored by players.
The move was widely viewed as an attempt by the league to end the controversy surrounding the anthem protests.
"The league gave the players a large sum of money toward their cause. That's hush money," he said, adding that players never should have been kneeling in the first place.

If they can be bought off the racial protest was BS from the start.
Tic toc tic toc. The end is near for the NFL. America is tired of over paid snowflakes. I would rather watch a H.S.football game.
Oh my...if this is indeed true, heads will roll!
1:31 I agree but I can see this working its way to high school in the near future.
