NFL reportedly funneling cash to 'defund the police' groups through its social justice initiative

The National Football League, through its "Inspire Change" social justice program, is providing financial support to multiple groups that openly advocate for the defunding or abolishment of police, Fox News reported this week.
What are the details?

Following a review of the NFL's "Inspire Change" program partners, the news outlet reportedly discovered that among the 33 organizations that receive financial backing from the multibillion-dollar league are three that espouse highly controversial beliefs.

The organizations in question are the Vera Institute of Justice, the Oregon Justice Resource Center, and the Community Justice Exchange, all of which openly support anti-law enforcement causes.

Vera Institute of Justice President Nicholas Turner wrote in June 2020 that his organization "is committed to dismantling the current culture of policing and working toward solutions that defund police and shift power to communities."

In the blog post, Turner celebrated the Minneapolis city council's attempt to disband the local police department in the wake of George Floyd's death. The move was ultimately rejected by voters in a ballot initiative last month..................

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Why wouldn't NFL members be funneling money to help their friends and family?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Where is the "Social Justice" in laying entire communities open to rampant and violent criminal predation?

This...THiS is why I have not watched football since players started 'taking a knee'.

I will not support the NFL in ANY way.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
