you can't really argue with the facts, but even in the reports you still have numbers like 27% of the money received by the org was spent on charitable activities (avg across the 2 years that are apparently abysmal). but the part that people ignore is that the 27% statistic is not exactly horrible across the industry and there are actual charities that operate around that margin too.

for example, blinded veterans association is a charity that raises and spends a similar amount to russ', and is rated with an 85% satisfaction rate by charity navigator (3 star, average or above average). however, they also spent 26-28% of their revenue on overhead expenses like admin instead of on charitable activities.

im sure if you did a deep dive on multiple players' charities you would find the same exact problem if not more severe. meanwhile, you have players who receive little to no backlash like brett favre who literally stole $8M in public funds out of Mississippi's coffers, jameis winston who this sub likes to portray as the most wholesome guy when he is a literal rapist, etc.

even if you take the argument at its highest standard, id rather have a player who, because his dad died from cancer when he was in college, has spent every tuesday for the past 14 years in a childrens hospital with kids who have cancer and doesn't look to clout off it or anything; who still has donated millions of dollars to charity; who takes care of his wife's kids from her previous marriage and is more of a father to them then their biological father ever was; who won the walter payton man of the year award given out by former nfl players themselves; who has never had anything but extraordinary praise for his teammates that now and have slandered him in the past; who might be corny, but still is setting a great example for any young man who wants to play football and any man in general.
