This "coalition" was created in direct response to when them ****** started kneeling. A player...Malcolm Jenkins caught flak from Eric Reid and other players for being the one that the NFL brokered that deal with. Inspire Change is great...but what is it really? Fill me in incase I'm misinformed...but were the NFL's charitable efforts in question before the protests? Kap started kneeling...others followed...the league had a problem on its hands and THIS was it's response. You don't see that for what it is?
It's not about "not liking it"...it's about calling a spade a spade. Of course charitable efforts are going to come from it but it is MIND BOGGLING how people are 1) ignoring the obvious business interest and or 2) pretending like said business interest isn't the PRIMARY motivating factor here as it pertains to Jay and the NFL. ****** got their woke chip turned up SO high right now...that it doesn't sit well on their conscious unless they attach a "social justice" spin to this "partnership". I see some even ADMITTING that this is about the bag but conversely still trying to put the Woke Hov spin on it. . There's an OBVIOUS case of hypocrisy here on Jay's behalf when he took a very public NFL stance seemingly in support of Colin Kaepernick. So to be "beyond kneeling" when ****** weren't kneeling over whatever "actionable items" you're partnering with the NFL over...sounds a lil funny in the light doesn't it?
This is business...wrapped in charity and it's blatant. It's amazing to me that some ****** in are ADMITTING this but still feel the need to get to keep the Philanthropic Hov takes off. Charity doesn't buy a person goodwill that they can use on credit whenever they get some dirt on their hands. I worked at an agency that did the digital strategy for known scumbag Stephen Ross' RISE initiative, where he put big money down to "support racial injustice and inspire change through sports". Meanwhile...everyone in South Florida who knows who Stephen Ross could give a flying **** and know that tossing some dough around don't change who you are. Sound familiar?
People can STILL like Jay and stop acting like this isn't ********
