| The New York Giants vs the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. |
We saw an interesting quote on Twitter this weekend. We think it's worth sharing.
#America won't hesitate to spend 11 bill 4 the Super Bowl, but has to think 3x b4 spending to feed the homeless and fight#sextrafficking.
How true that is. America will indeed spend billions on one day of NFL action, but has to think, and rethink the need to help the homeless get off the street, regain their dignity, rebuild their lives and the lives of their families.
What with NFL (and other sports owners), raking in billions of dollars each year off the backs of crazed fans; and professional athletes of all genres raking in millions, why then do we still have homeless people in every city of our nation?
This Super Bowl Sunday why not think about those who really need our attention: America's homeless population.
If you are not able to help in a big way, think about doing a small gesture that will mean so much. A warm blanket, a pair of shoes, a gently used coat, scarf or gloves. If you're really patriotic, make provisions for a homeless person to be able to shower and change clothes.
If you do happen to be the owner of a sports team, or professional athlete who has been blessed beyond your wildest imagination, why not rally your friends and comrades to help us end homelessness in America? Business tycoons also welcome.
Anyone can serve. Will you?
