Hundreds of millionaire NFL players followed Colin Kaepernick's lead and began disrespecting the American flag before each game this season — and millions of fans have boycotted the league as a result.

Now league officials are scrambling to win back the fans, but are going about it in the wrong way.

Instead of firing the offenders, the NFL is offering them a ransom: A fat check for $89 million dollars.

The money will be combined with contributions from players and distributed over seven years to support the players favorite liberal causes.

The goal is to get the players to stop kneeling — but the bribe doesn't require it.

"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," Fox News reported.
