BREAKING: NFL Shows True Desperation As $100 MILLION Plan To Save League Unveiled

The NFL led by Commissioner Roger Goodell has reached their breaking point. As Conservative Daily Post reported yesterday, ratings for their once-popular Monday Night Football have plummeted to new lows. Ticket sales have dropped dramatically as America makes it clear they will not support the players’ “protests.”

Despite all this, the players have shown no indication they were ready to stop their foolish display so it has fallen to the league to come up with a solution. A proposal sent this week to players could be considered a settlement. To speak truthfully, it is little more than a faintly disguised bribe. It is a desperate attempt to try and save a failing league.

The league wants to end the player’s protests by contributing close to $100 million to various charities. The chosen charities will be those focused on social justice and “causes important to African-American communities.” Presumably, this will make the players get off their knees, fans will come back, and the NFL can return to normal.

If they follow through, the NFL will pledge “at least $89 million” over the next seven years. In return, players will contribute $250,000 per team per year. This amount of money is more than all the NFL’s charity campaigns.

The offer is revealing problems amongst the players. A group called the Players’ Coalition is led by Philadelphia Eagle’s Malcolm Jenkins and recently retired Anquan Boldin is split on how to handle the offer. Jenkins and Boldin are on board to go ahead while others are already withdrawing from the group.

San Francisco 49ers Eric Reid and Miami Dolphins Michael Thomas have announced they do not agree. Reid was the second player, after Colin Kaepernick, to take a knee during the National Anthem. He says he does not agree with how Jenkins and Boldin are running the group;

“Malcolm continues to have conversations on his own with the NFL, and the Players’ Coalition is his organization. When we agreed to be a part of the Players’ Coalition, we were under the impression that it would be our organization. We were under the impression that we would all have equal say in that organization. But we’ve come to find out that it’s actually Malcolm and Anquan’s organization. Nobody else really has a stake in the organization.”

Reid told ESPN;

“I started protesting to raise awareness around these issues. If the situation changed to where I felt that there was a better way to raise that awareness, or a better way to effect change besides protesting, then I would stop. The NFL is trying to come through on that, but I think they’ve been going about it the wrong way.”

From the beginning, the players have maintained that their protests are about racial inequality and social justice issues. If that is the case, then this offer should be a no-brainer.

If on the other hand, this is a group of spoiled millionaires doing this for attention or drama, then it is doubtful they will accept.
