I just submitted this email to the NFL official site in support, and because the president warns that they will go out of business. I am on disability and a fixed income, but I feel I have to help them defy our president's stand, which I feel is paramount to treason.
ReplyDelete"I have never watched a football game in my life - until now. How can I donate money to the NFL to support them in their peaceful protest? I want to be one who helps assure that the NFL does not lose money because of people who think they can take away the rights of our precious U.S. citizens. Thank you in advance for you guidance in how I might help you."
