Great thought and gesture. It is obvious he loves America.

Not sure how he donated it.. But, if it was me, I would have picked one specific needy family and purchased them directly what they needed. (Not wanted.. needed.) Bureaucracy is a sleazy slut. Look what happened to money that was donated to victims of the Tsunami in Japan.

The Red Cross is a parasite feeding on the kind people of America.. So is The United Way. If one has to go through anyone.. It should be The Salvation Army, the best group of the bunch.

Great on Chuck though.. Class act.

Running the numbers from that article, at least Red Cross still does circles around that Susan Komen Breast Cancer scam. With the latter, almost none of it goes to breast cancer research.

I'm with RP. You gotta be careful about who you're giving money to. A lot of charities aren't that good.

Pessimism aside, it's a great thing to do, especially when you have more money than you can reasonably spend.

Oh, completely agreed. Let's say hypothetically, you give $100k and the charity sucks and the people who need it only get $5k. That $5k is still better than nothing.

However as the good people we are, we should do our research and find charities that come close to accomplishing what we want to accomplish. The Salvation Army is a damn good charity.

sad that you REALLY need to research a chairity.

the Suzan G. Komen foundation (responsible for all the pink NFL games) only puts $0.20 of every dollar toward research.

11% goes to employee salarys, which may not sound like much but last year they made nearly 400 million.


I may be wearing my tinfoil hat here, but there are ALOT better places I'd rather put my money.

Staten Island Borough President: Don’t Give Money to the Red Cross 

And, although many pols spoke, no one was more impassioned than Borough President James Molinaro, who called the Red Cross an “absolute disgrace” and even urged the public to cease giving them contributions.

“Because the devastation in Staten Island, the lack of a response,” Mr. Molinaro said to explain his comment to NBC after the press conference. “You know, I went to a shelter Monday night after the storm. People were coming in with no socks, with no shoes. They were in desperate need. Their housing was destroyed. They were crying. Where was the Red Cross? Isn’t that their function?

All one has to do is just look at the American Red Cross history. This is not new news.

One of the things I found so disturbing is it has being going on for almost forever.

Google "WWII+VETERENS+RED CROSS+ANGER"

The Red Cross trains young men and women to be life guards, but they charge these kids for profit for the training. They charge more for the same certification that many private companies do and private companies give the kids better training to be a life guard.

Minor disasters are the Red Cross expertise. Take the three or four year floods in places like North Dakota. The Red Cross has a $40,000 dollar canteen vehicle set up "Selling" hot coffee for fifty cents a cup. While down the road the Salvation Army has a tent set up in a puddle giving out FREE hot coffee, FREE oranges, Free bottled water, and FREE donated blankets and clothing.

Sorry.. I am ranting.

I can see him being really pissed off if he gave $100 to what he thought would be a good cause and finding that $95 went to bureaucracy and $5 went to the cause when he could have given the $100 straight to the cause.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
