News: PFT: Ezekiel Elliott raises $85,000 to feed 400,000 families in need

[sunalsorises]

A good deed is a good deed but $85K for Zeke has to be like me giving $20 to a good cause.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Saquan would have raised $86,000 for 500,000.

Now that will perk some up on this board.

 

[Ranching]

His donation would be like most people throwing a couple dollars towards a food bank but since he’s such a punk 99% of the time this is considered news worthy. Yawn.

The problem is most people won't help. ZEKE 2020!!!!!

 

[Corso]

I dislike denigrating good deeds. Even if it's made by a not-so-great person.

I'm happy he's helping out.

Absolutely wonderful. But feed 400,000 families with 85k? That’s 21 cents per family. A family of 4, that’s like 5 cents per person. A great gesture, nonetheless, but the math doesn’t add up. Zeke meant to say 40,000.

Poor guy needs to get off the weed, NOW.

Yeah.

I was scratching my head on that one too.

I think they could just leave it at "Zeke helped raise 85k to help families in need".
Maybe 4,000 families of 4 for one meal.

Either way, well done Zeke!

Someone's bad at math. Makes your comment about weed kinda ironic.

Ha ha ha! True!


Or is it?

 

[INCowboysFan]

He's so fat he must have eaten all the food.

WOW, you really had to put a lot of effort into rasing that money, right Zeke.....My question since you really didn't do anything other than attach your name to the cause, why didn't you match the $85,000 that was raised for a total of $170,000..I guess the 100 million contract just doesn't go as far as it once did......

The problem is most people won't help. ZEKE 2020!!!!!

But most people do, especially athletes.

 

[aria]

@aria can top that!!!!

After reading the article, did he even donate any of his own money? Doesn’t seem like it.

 

[plasticman]

Not trying to be a downer, but 21 cents a family? I hope he wasn't the only one.

 

[OmerV]

Mod might as well move this to the back of line.........lucky if it gets couple dozen hits. For some reason, players' good deeds don't do well on this board.

At least with some posters the good deeds of players on other teams play well on this board because it is an opportunity to say Cowboy players are all spoiled and uncaring people in comparison.

He helped raise 85k towards the cause. That's not the total......wow! Some people just can't do anything right. But!!!!! The CZ will kiss his butt when he runs and scores.

lol - wow, is this a serious complaint? How many charitable acts by any person completely eradicate a problem? People needing food has been an ongoing problem forever, and to date nobody has found a way to feed everyone at all times. Something like this is intended to add to the pool of resources to combat the problem, not to deal with the problem all on it's own.

Like you kissed Garretts after he got coach of the year in 2016? Pucker up big daddy!

 

[Dreski]

I think it’s cool that Zeke raised the money through selling merch! I’m sure they had were hoping to sell more. I wish I knew about the shirts, I would’ve bought one myself.

Garrett hate from me was personal, you just jealous!!!!! Lol

 

[Corso]

Just don't understand talking down something that helps people.

 

[aria]

I wonder what zeke did with the money he screwed his actual fans out of? Ya know, the few people that actually like him and waited 2 hours for him to show up late and then he announces that he wouldn’t sign anything unless they bought merchandise from his table. I guess all the money he made up until that point wasn’t enough to feed himself, let alone other people.
