They paid 90 million to have Jenkins sell out Kap and then still had to turn around and pay Kap 50-80 million.
In total that is 140-170 million paid because of a dude kneeling. Doesn't matter how much money they make, that is still stupid.
I mean Amazon earns more than the NFL and 140-170 million paid is still a lot of money for an expense that was completely unnecessary if they had simply let a dude kneel. There is no way to spin this other than an L for the NFL. Only silver lining is the L may have been bigger if they didn't settle.

Well whatever it is worth to them its likely they think twice before siding with a racist president and his hillbilly base vs a player who chooses to protest racism. Its literally 2019. Choosing racism over equality is just embarrassing, hence the huge payday for Kaepernick

I am waiting to see the payment plan, because there is a confidentiality agreement here and if he starts to spew again, he will forfeit the settlement. There is no way they are going to give it all to him and expect him to get it back.

To put this in another perspective:
The NFL wants to get to 25 Billion a year by 2025. Lets say they let this CK drag out and go to court and the NFL is proven not to have any collusion. In the meantime, the NFL is dragged thru the mud and everyone is speculating on the NFL and it hurts their product and revenue. So instead of hitting their 25 Billion a year goal in 2025 they only do 24.5 Billion because of the long term affects from a court battle and bad publicity.
The 90m they pay now is chump change from the potential 1/2 a billion they could lose out on.
The settlement could absolutely be a business decision in the best long term financial health of the NFL. That amount of money neither proves or disproves collusion.

The NFL basically just paid an entire team's salary Kap (pun intended) because a guy kneeled.

It proves mismanagement because they already lost support and still had to settle. Should have left it alone or settled a long time ago. Instead they mismanagement the whole affair from start to finish.

Hopefully more NFL stars will now be emboldened to be vocal and not be bullied about their stance against racists.

Be a pessimist all u want but the NFL made the wrong decision and chose the wrong side, that's why they paid up.
