Washington Redskins Sign Players To Multi-Million Dollar Contracts

America has several hundred, if not several thousand, people who could be classified as rich.

The Washington DC area alone has hundreds of people who are well off.

Why is there still homelessness in our great city?

On Wednesday, the Washington Redskins signed two players to very lucrative contracts.

Pierre Garçon and Joshua Morgan officially became Washington Redskins. 

Garcon, a former Colt, is slated to make $42.5 over five years; $20.5 million guaranteed.  His new teammate, Joshua Morgan, a cool $1.8m with almost another million in bonuses down the line.

We're not picking on athletes for making millions of dollars for their talents.  Professional sports in America is big business.  It also pays big.

That's a lot of money that can be put to charities and foundations to help combat and eradicate life situations of those less fortunate.

Professional sports team owners, big company CEOs and the like, you've got to do better.

It only takes a little to make a big change.

Think about it.

Homeless Wi-fi. Good Idea, or Other?

A new initiative to help homeless people earn money has sparked outcry in Austin, Texas when the homeless were asked to wear T-shirts indicating they could provide wi-fi Internet access at a recent SXSW music and technology conference.

This is Clarence, a 4G Hotspot homeless participant who provides Internet access - for a fee, of course.

For the cost of $2 per 15 minutes conference attendees gained Internet access as they stood beside a homeless person with MiFi devices connected to the Internet via the 4G phone network.

Some people saw the initiative of BBH, the brains behind the initiative, as crass and exploitative, however, BBH stands firm on the theory that they are merely helping homeless help themselves. 

"Obviously, there’s an insane amount of chatter about this, which although certainly villianises us, in many ways is very good for the homeless people we’re trying to help", said one BBH spokesperson.

Adding, "Homeless Hotspots is a charitable innovation initiative - it attempts to modernize the Street Newspaper model employed to support homeless populations."

So, we're asking you. Are Homeless Hotspots exploiting, or helping, homeless people?

Have you a better idea?
