Left-wing activist and actor John Cusack blasted the NFL for “hypocrisy.” The 2012 star called the NFL’s announcement to spend $250 million to “stop systemic racism” a “PR” stunt because Colin Kaepernick, the NFL starting quarterback turned social justice activist, still doesn’t have a roster spot on a team.
“NFL says it’s giving 250 million to combat systemic rascism [sic] – Hmm- how about letting Colin Kaepernick back into the league?” John Cusack tweeted.
In a follow-up tweet, the Say Anything star added, “NFL – U can give Colin what back ups make – no? Some of them make 5 mill a year – then you still have 245 million to spend on the PR, and you won’t look all look like complete hypocrites- Which – you still do.”
