Yeah, I know the owners are (ryhmes with sticks) but c'mon if just one would step up, think of the possible marketing angle...or how about they do a matching campaign with the fans at the game...
I.e. Owner says, for every fan who drops his ticket stub with a $5 in the collection box, I'll match the donation. Heck it's only a fraction of the $$ the owner takes in, but it would add up to a lot.
I just watched CostasNOW and Charles Barkley, John Mcenroe and Bob Costas all decided to follow in Turley's footsteps and donate $25,000 each. Maybe Turley might have sparked a little something and some others will step up and show Upshaw what he should have done a long time ago.
I still say that the owners are (insert expletive that rhymes with sticks) if they don't jump in and do something on this weekend...what the owners should do is donate proceeds from the preseason game where they have raped and pillaged their season ticket holders to this cause. Ooops, I'm being logical again...I'll stop.
There are ex NFL players living (barely), in homeless shelters getting $80 a month.
I think the NFL owes them something.
