The NFL will hear ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ from fans like me

We hear that the NFL will contribute $100 million to the players’ social concerns, or something like that.  
This is from Jim Hanson:   
NFL owners seem poised to donate nearly $100 million (including some contributions from players) over seven years to support the favorite social justice causes of the players. 
But in a perfect show of how incompetent they are, the owners will get nothing from the players in return. No promise to stop disrespecting the national anthem or any other meaningful concessions.
Who taught these clowns to negotiate, Neville Chamberlain? Obviously, they are used to trying to buy their way out of problems.  
Can you even imagine the sum total spent bailing their pampered players out of legal beefs, domestic violence and sexual misconduct issues? 
It would likely dwarf even Congress and Hollywood. But do they really think this will solve their problem?
Maybe the commissioner got his negotiation lessons from the Obama Iran nuclear deal or the Cuba detente?
As an NFL fan, I find this deal rather weak.   
First, these “social concerns” do not need money. What we need is for players to get involved in their communities, from working with the police chief to telling young people about the importance of fatherhood.   
Second, I am angry with the NFL because the players are not respecting the national anthem. I understand that there are grievances and would be happy to hear them. Please don’t tell me about them when you being disrespectful to your flag or anthem.
It is still incredible to me how the NFL has allowed the actions of a small group of “employees” to hurt the brand of the employer. This is not a civil rights issue but rather players who’ve chosen to “demonstrate” when they are on the clock.
It’s incredible that Commissioner Roger Goodell has allowed all  this happen!
So the NFL moves on and more fans like me will move on too. I will watch the Cowboys but I’m done with the other games. Remember that spring training and play ball is about 90 days away!

Brian Ross “goes fake news” big time!

For some time, many in the media have screamed when President Trump talks about “fake news”.
So Brian Ross of ABC News reports one of the biggest “fake news” stories since The Chicago Sun Times reported that Governor Dewey beat President Truman in 1948.
An ABC News reporter who erroneously reported a crucial detail following the guilty plea of Michael Flynn has been suspended for a month without pay, the news organization said Saturday.Brian Ross, a longtime investigative reporter at the network, reported Friday morning during a special report that Flynn had been directed to contact Russian officials by then-candidate Donald Trump during the presidential campaign. When pleading guilty, Flynn admitted to lying about contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the presidential transition period, but filings from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not allege any contacts during the campaign itself, or implicate Mr. Trump directly.The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled more than 300 points following Ross’ report, which was not matched by other major news organizations.ABC News issued a “clarification” later Friday walking back the report.So how did this happen?    It was probably a perfect storm of bad research, lousy sources and an unhealthy hatred of President Trump.
My advice to the media:   Love the truth more than you hate Trump.
