BillsfanAZ Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 This isnt Bills related but I think it is worth posting about. I think more players should put their money where their mouth is. Hats off to Deshaun Watson for donating his first game check to three ladies hit hard by the hurricane. Instead of protesting, go out and make a bigger difference in the community so your message can be heard. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/deshaun-watson-gives-game-check-to-workers-hit-hard-by-hurricane-harvey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see more of this as well. However, I don't see Watson's generosity as mutually exclusive with protesting, either. You can't change societal problems simply by writing a check. The issue's way too complicated for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elroy16 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 ...I read last night that his family was the beneficiary of a home from Habitat for Humanity and he'll always remember that...... I believe Warrick Dunn played a part in that. Dunn has helped a bunch of families out with new homes, he is an amazing person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't see Watson's generosity as mutually exclusive with protesting, either. You can't change societal problems simply by writing a check. The issue's way too complicated for that... I just used it as an example of making a difference in the community. Players can stroke checks to fund lots of programs or organizations that would help bridge social gaps in their communities. It may only put a small dent in it but it is more impactful than just taking a knee. I know there are players that are heavily involved in their communities already and I hope they are mentoring other players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an 11-year-old Deshaun Watson with his family after then-NFL running back Warrick Dunn worked with Habitat for Humanity to furnish a new house near Atlanta to the Watsons via his charity that builds or rehabs homes for single-parent families.

BillsfanAZ Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 So, is it bad to point out that a lot of guys do both? Not at all. In one of the responses I made mention that some players do a lot for their communities that probably took a knee sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Good for Deshaun, this deserves publicity and not the non-stop idiocy on both sides we have had to endure. Recall Jerry Hughes cut a check for $25k, class act. Guess he wont be donating to Hunter's Hope anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dunn inspired by mother" Is it any wonder that so many of the players were offended by Trump's "Son of a B!tch" comment... Oh, Oh...Boyst62 in 3...2...1...
