Steptide Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 This is for his blindside block fine. He said any money will go to charity. It's a good cause I think.

I just don’t trust anyone to be honest. And let me admit right away maybe I’m foolish Because I don’t know the ins and outs of go fund me or if there is actual accountability for the people requesting money on there. It just seems like an easy way to scam people so I avoid it at all costs unless it’s someone I’m familiar with and know it’s a real issue 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bferra13 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Ford already said this money will go to charity or to setup a fan event. He is appealing the fine. Not sure if the guy who setup the page can fraud people or not. But Ford wont accept the money towards the fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It’s an excuse to give to charity. Not that there should need to be an excuse needed but we know how this stuff works. Some people need to calm down.

Why do we need to raise money to display how absurd the penalty/fine was? why does everything result in a Go Fund Me? Because a Go Fool Me site is not as attractive. I get a lot of calls from fund raisers who work for charities which cannot be reported for Do Not Call list. My response is "Thank you for name of charity which uses paid telemarketers. I will take them off donation list." I have gotten one response from this from a charity who I have donated to in past. "We heard that you are unhappy with our use of telemarketers to raise money. We wanted you to know that all money raised directly to our efforts to help our clients." I later looked up report on charity and found how much part-time chairman was making and decided money could be better donated elsewhere. All of my donating is anonymous since one charity took my donation as reason for 4+ mails and a call a year asking for donations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It was a horrible call even with the NFL's dubious reinterpretation of the rule. You would think that the league would review it and see that it should have never been a penalty and if it was (based on their blind man's interpretation) it was hardly egregious and a mild block. But no!! The NFL double down on their stupidity and douchebaggery and fine Ford! Idiots! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoff Bound Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Cody Ford is a high character guy so if he says he will donate the money to charity I fully believe he will. What I don't understand is how the NFL can fine Ford $28k but not fine Clowney for a helmet to helmet hit that knocked Wentz completely out of the game and maybe end his career. The NFL should follow college football and their "Targeting" and eject anyone for helmet to helmet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Cody Ford will likely make more in his rookie contract than I’ll make in my lifetime, including any 401k investments and unexpected inheritances. Sure, I’m in for $25!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
