ESPN is reporting that the NFL and a group of players reached an agreement late last night (November 29th) to partner on a plan to address social justice issues that are important to African-American communities. Under the agreement, the NFL will commit $89 million over seven years to national and local projects dealing with criminal justice reform, law enforcement-community relations and education. Players on each team will be matching contributions for the projects on the local level. Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin led about 40 players in negotiating with the NFL about the controversial protests during the national anthem against racial injustice and police brutality. The agreement doesn't include language calling for players who've continued the protests to stop, but the NFL hopes their commitment in this agreement will end them. OK, the NFL has addressed your concerns and committed some serious scratch to your cause...how about you get off your knees and fanny and finally show a little respect to the United States of America.
