Your 4.5% amplified it. I started kicking the numbers around and realized all the more why this should be a national news item. Players like Dunn and Bush should be praised but the non-contributors need to be rightfully embarrassed.

total NFL salaries= $2.37bil (1.4mil x 32 x 53)

His goal was to get .003369 of that. That is the equivalent of asking someone with $50K a year income to donate $168.

What he got was .00016 of total NFL salaries. That would be the equivalent of someone with a $50K a year income to give $8.

For all the United Way PR the NFL does to make themselves look so benevolent the players need to be called on the carpet about this disgrace. How about a little give back to the people who are without houses and buying tickets to pay for your salaries.
