The NFL said they were committing $20 million more to social justice causes this year, but Reid was quick to point out that’s just a fraction of the revenue the league generates.

Where do I start? In your self reflection you chose to tell us that you donated .00275% of your 2019 revenue of roughly $16B to the causes you care so deeply for. Yet you have not denounced the police 4 their history of murder nor have you addressed your own oppressive constructs,” Reid tweeted

In his next tweet, which again, has been deleted, Reid wrote:

In your self reflection, you didn’t come 2 the conclusion 2 apologize for your numerous attempts 2 subvert the very movement that you now claim 2 be a part of, including but not limited to: breaking your own protocols in an attempt to force us from kneeling and blackballing Colin

Again, Reid is clearly fed up with the NFL trying to project one image while doing basically the exact opposite.

In your self reflection, you didn’t feel the need to reconcile your aforementioned actions. You aren’t trying to change the system. You are the system.

How would more money help?  Serious question

surprised Eric hasn't signed yet, this won't help. 

one dimensional player--overrated in my opinion.  But you are right--it seems to me that many of the NFL decisions by owners are more toward the conservative (red) side.  About the draft, the season, fans, etc.  they have been pro "back to normal"  for a while now--and that could be more about money than politics, but it makes sense that they would be more red than blue.

I wonder if he marched in any of the protests?  At least 5 current Panthers did and none of them have been nearly as publicly outspoken as Reid.   As invested as Reid is you would think he would have been an organizer of one and the lead person on the day of.

Reid is a selfish false martyr.  I haven’t seen a single thing that he has done to truly advance the very cause he bitches so much about.  He wants the media attention,  but doesn’t want to put in the work.

There goes the paltry sum I banked the NFL “donating” to BLM because of Brees’ bigotry yesterday

The one minutes and forty seconds is all in a days work for Eric.

Where does the 20 million go?  What is its purpose?  How does money help?

You mean he wasn't the first person to kneel with Kaep?

Oh wait... he was... 

This is where you move the goalposts and start specifying certain acts that in your eyes qualify as doing something, but until then if you wouldn't mind humming a little bit to hold me over that would advance my cause

The 20 million dollar question

[stratocatter]

If the NFL wasn't there, and the other pro sports leagues, how many hundreds and probably thousands of AA families would not be set for their lives, all the way through the next couple of generations in some cases. It has been a Godsend for many many people. True or false?

I mean, please, tell me again how professional athletes are oppressed in this day and age.

This is what I am seeing:  white people run it, so they must be oppressing everyone. .
