NFL’s Anthem Surrender Deal Would Send Millions to Soros-Backed Social-Justice Groups

The anthem protests begun by Colin Kaepernick last year, presented the NFL with a critical decision: Choose the side of the anthem protesters. Or choose the fans and customers of their game, who don’t want the sport polluted by politics.
As it turns out, not only did the NFL choose their protesting players over their fans, they George Soros over their fans.
The NFL recently agreed to spend nearly $90 million dollars over the next seven years, to various organizations connected with social justice causes. Several of those groups, have deep connections to billionaire liberal activist George Soros.
The NFL agreement with the players, which includes no requirement that the player protests end, will send cash to Soros-connected groups such as Dream Corps, Center for American Progress, and Campaign for Fair Sentencing.
According to the Washington Examiner, Dream Corps is “…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 Examiner also reports, “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.’”
As details of the NFL’s deal with the players come to light, the NFL has stressed that there is no final agreement over how the money will be spent.
NFL Spokesman Joe Lockhart said in an email, “No decisions have been made on where the money will go yet, much less all the money over the next 7 years. Those decisions will be made by the working group that has not been formed yet.”
While no final agreement may yet exist, imagining what the final agreement will look like based on the NFL Players Association’ track record of how they spend their money, will not instill confidence among conservatives.
In early October, a conservative watchdog group called 2ndVote, revealed how the NFLPA made several donations to Soros-connected groups. Many of whom have the removal of, or resistance to President Trump as their chief aim.
Granted, the Players Coalition, which is the group negotiating with the NFL for the $90 million dollars in social justice funding, is not technically bargaining in connection with the NFLPA. However, why would the funding decisions be any different?
