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

[Corso]

Looks like Zeke ate some of those contributions.

That's an $85,000 tummy!

It's not about a good deed erasing a bad one. There is no obligation to like Zeke after doing something good. But not liking Zeke doesn't somehow make a good deed a bad deed. If it helps people it helps people.

I never said what he did here was a bad deed. I’m also curious why he gets credit for doing something good but no one wants to say what a dbag he was for screwing his fans over. I’ve provided the link in this thread and others and have never got a response. Give credit where credit is due, whether good or bad, right?

Seriously, that kind of looks like me right now.
I've been lifting weights at home and totally ignoring cardio.
Lol.

Eh...at least I’ve never attacked someone because I didn’t like them, unlike zeke. It’s also not any misery, I find it very therapeutic and satisfying, I’ve never liked bullies and divas.

That's exactly what you did when you posted this ...

So if I go assault someone and drop a couple dollars in the kettle the next day I’m suddenly a good guy?

This charitable act was not related to his past bad actions, and nobody is saying Zeke is suddenly a good guy. You decided to make it about those things because you don't like Zeke.

This thread is to celebrate a good deed, not denigrate it.
Yes, he's not a great guy. Yes, he's done some crappy things.
None of that should be ignored, but that's not the point of this thread.

This deed is a good thing.

This thread wasn't about other bad actions, it was about this particular charitable action. That's why this particular action is being discussed in this thread. If you want to discuss actions of Zeke's you don't like you are as entitled to start a thread as the guy who wanted to discuss this act.

Bingo!!!!!!!!......he doesn't see it

I meant physically.

I do, and when I or others discuss actions about zeke we don’t like, there are people there minimizing those actions and saying it’s no big deal just as I’m doing here.

What I see is hyopcrisy.

As I said above Corso, there are plenty of threads about bad things he’s done and his supporters come in there and minimize those things, how is this any different?

So you're a willing hypocrite?
I expected better.

Are you really saying that because some fans are illogical for downplaying a bad act Zeke committed, that somehow makes it right for you to be illogical for downplaying a good act? If it's wrong for them it's wrong for you.

Besides, you didn't just say it wasn't a big deal, you turned it into a Zeke bash and acted like somehow someone was trying to force you to decide Zeke was a good guy. You changed the topic to serve another purpose.

Ritz cracker please...

I’m not complaining about myself in this thread, am I? I don’t complain about them in those threads, do I? No, I debate/argue with them, like everyone does in every thread here.

I respect healthy argument. I dislike lowering to the lowest denominator just because.

Good for you, seriously, I’m more vindictive to let a little good deed erase multiple bad ones.

Maybe you should google Zeke and what he has donated. It hasn't been "a little good deed", he has been donating to the food bank and salvation army consistently since becoming a Cowboy. I agree he has made dumb, stupid mistakes, and is not my favorite either, but he has done more good than this one thing, if you are going to bash him (rightfully imo) for the bad things, at least don't downplay the good ones.

This.
