NFL pledges $250M for social justice causes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On the heels of commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledging that “black lives matter,” the NFL is committing $250 million to social justice causes.

The league confirmed the news on NFL.com after reports of the pledge on Thursday afternoon.

The Undefeated’s Jason Reid reports that the pledge is an expansion of an already agreed-upon deal with The Players Coalition with the intent to “combat systemic racism and support the battle against the ongoing and historic injustices faced by African Americans.”

The Players Coalition, founded by ex-NFL receiver Anquan Boldin and New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins, consists of several active NFL players advocating for social justice causes. Its stated goal is to “challenge dominant power structures, build mass popular support and use culture to shift policy and change lives.”

4. Kaepernick already settled with the league...

2. Roughly three quarters of a million per team

Almost chump change in the rare either the fat cat NFL owners reside in, but it's a start, and if could be a cool thing if if it was a yearly assessment.

5. Yet Kaepernick is still unemployed.

No amount of donation or weasel words will mean a thing until they undo the wrong they did... and kept doing.
