Professional athletes are leading the way in providing relief to people in need during the coronavirus pandemic. We are all in this together and it’s imperative that people who are in position to help will step up and lead.

Other athletes that have made pledges to aid in coronavirus relief include Zion Williamson, Kevin Love, Rudy Gobert, and Blake Griffin just to name a few. It’s a good thing to see guys take leadership in this situation and give back to less fortunate.
One thing that I’ve noticed from social media is not only the positive reinforcement from people being happy about these contributions, but also there have been negative comments over athletes publicly announcing their intent to give back.
I miss the times when people did good deeds away from publicity

What people fail to realize is this is not a popularity contest, but a matter of individuals with good intentions giving to a cause. This is not the time to express jealousy or hate to others especially as they are helping out in a major way. Again, we are all in this together and we should all hope that those are in positions to help, will do so.
