There are posts upon posts talking about pros and cons concerning the last 5-6 roster spots including names like Kizer, Carson, Shepherd, Lazard, Madison, McCray, Patrick...etc. Anything is possible right now!

Rodgers donates his time and big $$$ to many worthy causes, including one of my favorites, the MACC fund to cure childhood cancershttps://maccfund.org/portfolio-item/an-evening-with-aaron-rodgers/ Aaron has enjoyed immense financial success, so donating to his football program/setting up a scholarship for community college kids doesn't take anything away from the great work he does elsewhere. This Cal donation is dwarfed by the others he's made over the last 10 years Maybe we could cut the dude some slack ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to be clear I have no problem with Rodgers donating money or with this choice to donate in particular. I think it’s very generous of him. I do have problems with the way UC handles their business. To make an analogy, I have problems with the US meat industry and consumptive animal use in general but I don’t have problems with individuals who eat meat. I think Rodgers is exhibiting positive moral traits here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet subliminally this is just another jab from Rodgers. What a guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious caveat is this is very very personal for Aaron in ways it wouldn't be for a random donor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, judging how people donate their money is always "right". It's not insolent or odious at all. I'm sure you've donates millions to only worthwhile causes. Well done!
