[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3153899, member: 5412"] Well, guess what. The National Fools League has offered to put up millions of dollars to the teams local area minority charities. Some players are not in favor. I browsed several sites including ESPN and other sports outlets, and there was not a consensus of the exact details as of yet of what he final deal was. Some said the nfl is contributing 90 million, and others said 100 million. Then there was this site. Owners will contribute $250,000 annually for local outreach in each team’s community, with the expectation that players will match that amount. Both owners and players can exceed that $500,000 total if they choose, and there are expected to be other fundraising opportunities, like auctioning game-worn jerseys or telethons.

On Monday, the league submitted to players the final draft of a proposal that, according to documents reviewed by ESPN, would contribute nearly $100 million to causes considered important to African-American communities.
