Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell found himself in hot water after posting a picture of a masked man slashing a cops throat.  His post was in response to the fatal shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police.  He immediately deleted it but the damage was already done.  Nothing’s ever really deleted from the Internet.  The picture ignited a firestorm and now Crowell is apologizing.

Crowell initially apologized at the Browns’ request but police organizations felt the apology was empty and one threatened to organize a police boycott of Browns home games this season.

Sidenote: police officers walked out of a Minnesota Lynx game after the players wore Black Lives Matter shirts.

Since that apology wasn’t enough, the next step is money (usually people don’t care about sincerity then).  He’s vowing to donate an entire game check to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, which supports families of officers killed in the line of duty.

Isaiah will reportedly make $600k this season, and a game check is typically 1/16th of a player’s salary so the donation should be about $37,500.
