"Malcolm continues to have conversations on his own with the NFL, and the Players Coalition is his organization," Reid said. "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. Malcolm actually wants us to -- he calls it invest, I call it donate -- to the company to pay salaries for his staff. But again, we would have no equity in the organization."
two of the players are trying to funnel money directly into their own organization to get their people paid. So the players that seem to actually care about the issues have walked away from the Players Coalition.

Under the proposal, money at both the national and local level would provide grants for nonprofit organizations focused on law enforcement and community relations, criminal justice reform and education reform
this sounds very vague. Sounds like the money would just be squandered and thinned out by logistics and the owners/NFL would get a tax writeoff and not lose anything.
Good for the ones that walked away from this pay-off and seeing things for what they are.
What that really tells you is that the disrespect shown by the players is costing them money....a lot of money. Looks like they are trying to buy their way out of it!
Wow, what a mistake. Fire Roger Goodell and start firing players. If the player's union doesn't like it tell them to eff themselves. If players want to sit out a season hire replacement players.
Jerry Jones should sell the Cowboys, tell the NFL eff off and invest in soccer teams across the country. Millenials and Hispanics love soccer and us boomers are going to start dying off.

its not costing them money. This was never in their possession.
100 mill donation should go to homeless veterans or something
people care more about putting blacks in their place. The owners have this kind of money sitting around to donate and help people, but they don't. That's one thing people should be able to take away from this. These owners act like they're broke when it comes to building a stadium, but all of a sudden they have money to shut up black people.
