Sources: NFL agrees to commit $89M over seven years to social justice causes
ESPN, Nov 30, 2017, Jim Trotter and Jason Reid

The NFL and a group of players reached an agreement in principle late Wednesday night to partner on a plan to address social justice issues considered important to African-American communities, ESPN has learned.

The unprecedented agreement calls for the league to contribute $89 million over seven years to projects dealing with criminal justice reform, law enforcement/community relations and education.

During a conference call Wednesday night, Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin, who lead roughly 40 players who have negotiated with the league office about demonstrations during the national anthem, guided the group through the highlights of the package, which represents the NFL's largest contribution to a social issue, surpassing that of Salute to Service or Breast Cancer Awareness/Crucial Catch.

projects dealing with criminal justice reform, law enforcement/community relations and education.

Sounds like the sort of undefinable BS Jesse Jackson could endorse.
