This is disappointing imo. The NFL should have donated 5x this amount. I know its not their responsibility however, it will take Billions to rebuild. Given the current climate in CA with insurance issues, no friggin water etc, these people had zero chance to avoid the destruction. Shame on Goodell for donating pennies on the dollar towards this relief effort. Goodells current salary is worth $200M. Perhaps each owner will fork up $2M towards the relief effort raising the total from the NFL to $69M.

It will not let me paste the link. See Bleacher Report.

NFL to Donate $5M to Support Those Impacted by Los Angeles Area Wildfires​

$5M per club and a league match. $300M to the NFL would be like dropping a $20 in the plate at church

Some asked what could have been done differently in LA

1. Have existing reservoirs filled. If repairs are needed do them during rainy season or after new ones are built.

2. Build the new reservoirs Californians voted to fund in 2014 - not one is complete.

3. Stop using tax payer dollars to fund crazy sh!+ like drug kits to the homeless and fund desalination plants.

4. Increase funding to the fire department - don’t cut it.

4. Do prescribed control burns!

5. Create fire breaks.

6. Divert the water for the smelt fish back to urban areas. - when the fire retardant and fire waste washes into the ocean those fish are screwed way worse.

6. Get nut farmers out of Cali and into another state. It takes 1.1 gallons of water to grow an almond.

7. Make sure during fire season the mayor is in LA so someone can declare a federal emergency - this way the navy choppers that drop water could have been deployed immediately. Not days later.

8. Call in the National guard before all of LA is on fire and being looted.

9. Force the privately owned utility companies to update their 100 year old equipment so it doesn’t fail and start fires and kill people and animals.
Now who voted for these people ?

Are you gonna continue to post reactionary irrelevant tweets skinsdad or actually find a source that talks about how diverting water from the north would have helped, or was denied by Newsome, or how the lack of common forestry practices like raking contributed to this fire?

Everything you’ve posted so far is red meat reactionary bullshit for the sheeple on the right.

As itis unrelated to what I asked for, it is not something that I’ll comment on.

I’ll even help you out, because you clearly need it: your strongest evidence of Newsome’s mismanagement isnt the dumbass reactions that you’ve posted, but in the third article posted by Breed.

Not surprising that somebody who is an expert at living in Cali or close to Cali would
have more of a clue as to why Newsome sucked in his response than, well, you.

Again another foolish thing . Californians voted for the people who supported and implemented the policies. . Plain and simple . And the guy you hate was right yet again and said so months ago.

Don't even waste your time with fools like him.
He's stuck too knee deep in the maga cult world of lies & misinformation to actually understand the difference between reality & fantasy or fact & fiction.
