There might be some overlap tbh I don’t know the exact details but I just was referring to how he would constantly show up to meet with kids who have cancer and try and brighten their day even a little bit. I mean there’s like hundreds to thousands of pictures where it looks like he just got out of bed to hangout with these kids

At this point they should just give out a “Denny Kellington Trainer of the Year” Award

Russell's charity reportedly spen more on employees than doing actual charitable works. They spen $600,00 on charity and $1.1 million on salaries from 2020-21. Ryan Tarpley, CEO of the charity, made double industry standard in salary. He is also Chief Strategy Officer for the Wilson's home office, which is illegal double dipping.

If you want to become infuriated, Yahoo! has a good story on it.

As a bonus, the Wilson Celebrity Golf Tournament boasted about $2million in donations to a Seattle children's hospital. But in actuality only donated $78,000 while the Tournament itself cost $800,000.

Symbolically, that’s awesome. But that voter should probably never be allowed to vote again. Good thing it was a run away decision because can you imagine if that vote would have actually decided the result?

Is this how Josh Allen got a first place vote? “He must have meant Josh Allen”. Because any other logic for the most turnovers in the NFL getting a vote make no sense.

They 100% should have created an award for this guy though.

Overhead is a real thing but it should be reasonable. I think the exact line of acceptable costs is easily debatable but his charities are reportedly spending over 50% of their income on overhead and I'd like to think any rational person would say that's too much to justify the existence of the entity if true.

Cool to see. Credit where it’s due. What did this guy do? The article doesn’t really say.

I know it’s only symbolic, but what a wonderful gesture

Unless Mahomes has a bonus clause in his contract that kicks in if he wins MVP, the MVP vote literally means jack squat.

It’s cool to say X player has won more MVP awards than X player, but in the end it has zero real world implications. Why not celebrate someone that actually did have an on-field contribution that went beyond the game?

Yeah, that was the explanation I saw in another thread. For those that don't know (since this is a general sports subreddit and they may not follow the NFL), Hamlin took a hit on the field and his heart stopped. Trainers immediately started doing CPR and they were able to get him to the hospital and he's recovering.

Not sure what the ramifications are, if any, but hats of to Suzy Kolber for using her AP vote to symbolize this gesture. Not sure how the process was decided on, whether she made that choice herself or not, regardless, kudos ✌🏻
