NFL players’ union teamed up with Soros to fund leftist advocacy groups

Even before its feud over the national anthem with President Trump, the NFL Players Association wasn’t on the same political team as many of its fans, judging from its contributions to leftist advocacy groups.
Tax documents released by 2ndVote show the NFLPA donated $5,000 in 2015 to the Center for Community Change Action, a group active in the anti-Trump resistance and bankrolled by a host of liberal foundations, including top Democratic donor George Soros’s Foundation for Open Society.
A member of the AFL-CIO, the NFLPA also contributed in 2013 and 2015 to Working America, the AFL-CIO’s community affiliate, which Open Secrets said spent $1 million in 2016 to defeat Trump.

I read about this earlier and this would really be a reason to turn the NFL off; very perturbing upon first hearing about it. It makes tuning the NFL out a further no-brainer as far as I see. Of course, everyone has a right to follow their own beliefs and conscience on this.
$5000 in the bigger picture, isn't that much. Will read up on this more.
