Anti-ICE, anti-cop group wins NFL-funded grant from Players Coalition

The Super Bowl isn’t until Sunday, but already several winners have emerged from the 2018 NFL regular season, including a George Soros-funded activist group that takes a dim view of the border patrol and police.

The NFL-funded Players Coalition announced Wednesday that it had awarded $2 million in grants to six non-profit organizations, a list that included the Advancement Project National Office, which has received millions from Mr. Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

The 20-year-old Advancement Project, known for fighting voter-identification laws, rallied for “police-free schools” at a December protest featuring a poster of a pig in a police hat.
