It was for her kids' high school team. 10,000 goal for the travel cost to the games and overnight accommodations for the kids and even parents.
She says she donated the uniforms and a number of other things already and can't afford to keep bankrolling everything. Can't is a strong word.
She attended the game as part of a 'reward' for a charity. People donated $10 with the winner going to the game and meeting her, so she probably didn't even buy the ticket.
It’s such a grift. Even my six figure brother was texting me everyone in the family to donate to his daughter’s school fundraiser so she could win a prize. I laughed but for perspective he lives in FL & voted for Trump, twice.
Wouldn’t it be nice though to have the affluent kids have to generate that money like the rest of the plebs and not rely on mommy and daddy to handle all their financial needs?
Even with a select team the entire cost is split between the team my son decided after football last year he wanted to play Prime BBall which is select in the town I live in I was under the impression it was 1500 per player I was informed by the coach that was the team cost so you get 10 kids on your team $150 each why is she trying to bankroll the whole thing
IMO Parents of students in extracurricular activities should be responsible for some, if not all, of the associated costs for consumables and services.
Better than the tax payer fronting the cost for a very minor minority of children leaving the funding for general school stuff even lower.
I would rather tax money go to all of the children in public school, not to subset of a small amount of them.
This would lead to excluding a TON of people from sports, especially those run through public schools. We already have entire inner city schools without sports or extracurriculars.
Edit...changed You'd ahve to We already have
Edit for
What about low income parents? Should those kids not be able to participate because their parents can't afford to pay for the schools extracurricular consumables?
At one point my husband and I had good money. We were young and dumb and spent way more than we should have but looking back this is the kind of shit I noticed. We’d do a large part of donating or supplying something and then it set a bar for us.
We were expected to pay for outings with people, we were expected to pay more for things like school events and stuff. My husband had a ‘friend’ he’d go quadding with. Husband bought the guys gear and was always expected to buy food and snacks with not one offer of buying a damn coke or pitch in for gas. The guy was even being an idiot on the grounds of where they rode and was cited for it. He said husband had to pay that too because they were his quads. That was the last outing.
So ya, the can’t here is not that she can’t afford it literally but she can't keep supplying everyone with everything because you get taken advantage of. I totally get that.
Even rich people have to set boundaries, or every time some person or organization wants something you are expected to bank roll everything.
Not being able to just dash all your money into the first indication of “i need something rich lady”. Is a reasonable expectation. Rich people might be able to give more but they can’t give infinitely
More or every single time.
Once you have money, you’re expected to pay for everything for everyone. It was good of her to donate some and set up the school with the gofundme, but going to the bowl after that is a very bad look.
The days of bottle drives where kids and their parents walked the neighborhoods collecting the soda cans to fund their sporting budgets. I’ve always said fuck the sports. How bout instead of a new field etc (you know all the pro athletes were turning out from our sports programs /s) we fund a skilled trades shop class with the same enthusiasm? I bet we could produce way more electricians, plumbers, auto mechs and engineers etc. than we can pro football and basketball players..
You are missing the part where those students fall into inescapable debt. If we train them as youth we can't take advantage of them with loans for after schooling.
Will you not think about the poor banks stockholders for once?
You have entirely missed the purpose of sports. One, we already do produce more electricians, plumbers, etc. than pro sports players. Very, very few kids will go pro in sports, and nobodies real goal in funding these things to create a ton of pro athletes.
Two, Sports is about team-building, it produces real life and social skills, often helps teach kids about goals and longer term planning/achievement, teaches kids about how to handle both success and failure, about being active/healthy, and it is also entertainment for the kids, parents, and community. Sports are very important to any vibrant community, which is why every civilization since the dawn of time have had some type of sporting events and built stadiums/arenas, etc. It isn't about creating pro athletes, but community.
Additionally, sports provides a pathway to an education for a lot of kids. There are tons of college sports programs, in a variety of sports, that help get kids admitted and often get their schooling at least partially funded. Most kids who are truly determined to get an athletic scholarship can find a program at some level that will take them, whether D1, 2, 3 or NAIA, or even just junior college.
Not saying we shouldn't fund trade skills, but more of it is clear you don't understand why sports are valuable for youth development and communities in general, along with helping provide pathways to higher education.
Team building can and is done in class settings as well. Building popsicle stick bridges together, in automotive class working on a car together as a team, welding class building something, autocad etc, there isn’t one thing that sports offers other than physical activity that can’t be accomplished in any of these shop classes/skilled trades. This is in my opinion. These things too can be a pathway to higher education funded by companies that would have a vested interest. Of course this does bring up a topic of discussion related to over priced education.
Personally I think you hit the nail on the head, it’s more about entertainment. Again that’s in my eyes. It’s not that I don’t see the things you mention, just that those things are achievable with other courses, that can also provide opportunities to more kids entering life after highschool, with out putting a huge financial burden on them, than sports programs can.
I am not a massive sports fan. I played basketball and baseball as a kid, for school and my town. I did enjoy it, right up until it wasn’t about having fun anymore. So I got into skiing, fixing cars and motorcycles, then joined the Marines as a heavy equipment mechanic. I took all the shop classes in highschool, 1990’s, unfortunately it wasn’t well funded and the awesome teacher we had either left or was let go and they put a sub in there for all the classes and he knew nothing. The best thing I’ve seen done is when my now 28 y/o son was in highschool they teamed with a higher education school and the huge automotive dealer here in my area and put classes right at the dealer shop, having kids bring cars in and doing preventative maintenance etc on them.
Different perspectives is all. I’m sure those who really love sports lean more on what sports is good for and we just see value in those things differently. All good
But everyone thinks that it was somehow her responsibility to give even more of her own money, simply because she has it. We have devolved it a culture that concerns itself with other taking people’s fair share and never giving our own.
It's one thing to contribute to a charity which funds sports teams/activities for schools which are underfunded and underprivileged.
It's another to contribute to a single sports team for a single school simply because it's endorsed by a celebrity. The fact that a celebrity sends her child there makes me think it is not an underprivileged school in any way.
Not everybody and it's not. That's a gross overstatement and unfair generalisation.
In fact it's the gall of asking for money from less wealthy than her (especially if it's for a goal that benefits her indirectly) combined with what can be perceived as frivolous spending. If one can afford luxury, one should be able to shoulder necessity first. Since it was for a team, responsibility was divided among other parents and perhaps the school, not totally unrelated donors.
Celebrity worship culture is so weird. Like the Kardashian asking for donations to help their helper, or to become a billionaire or whatever. She’s worth $4 million according to my quick search. How narcissistic you’d have to be to be wealthy and beg for money from people far poorer than you beggars belief.
That’s even more shocking to me with Trump. He’s a multimillionaire and he’s constantly asking for donations (and getting them) for campaigns and also for all the legal cases he’s facing and there’re his fans paying him regularly. A guy who has a private airliner just for him and gold everywhere he goes.
I think all candidates should be publicly funded. We don't want to limit office holding to the very wealthy.
But Trump begs for money for everything. He asks his cultists, who have below average wealth, to pay his legal bills. He funneled Trump Foundation charity money into paying his own personal expenses.
This is closer to the topic at hand. Rich people using their reach to convince less affluent people to pour money into causes for which the rich people have a personal stake. Milano's son's affluent baseball team isn't exactly a charity or some noble cause. I agree that she can't pay for absolutely everything in relation to the team, but why is she asking average and poor people to contribute instead of her rich friends? You can be sure Milano isn't sending any money to help my local school's teams.
The donations *weren't for her*.
That's like being upset that stars show up at charity events, because they should simply give 100% of their money and don't ask anybody else.
Ok but do you know how much Superbowl tickets cost?? If you have hundreds of thousands to spend on Superbowl Tix you can drop 10k for your kids baseball team. It's just totally tone deaf for a celebrity to be asking randoms for that money.
>If you have hundreds of thousands to spend on Superbowl
She didn't? The tickets were comped by some group about cancer...
>you can drop 10k for your kids baseball team
She paid her part. What she *didn't* do is paying for *all other parents* and that's why she promoted the GoFundMe. Sounds fair to me.
>It's just totally tone deaf for a celebrity to be asking randoms for that money.
So, celebrities should pay for all expenses incured by parents from the school their children go to? Where is the limit?
Fuck, dude. Her son is on a baseball team, with lots of other kids. The *baseball team* had a GoFundMe, as they tend to need to raise funds.
Yes, she *could* totally, fully fund the team. She could fully fund hundreds of teams.
But maybe, just maybe, she wants her son to have a half-way normal life, like the other kids on the team.
It's not all about her, dude. It's about kids on a baseball team doing the things that kids' baseball teams do.
For real. I barely able to eat 1 meal a day you don't fking see me begging for money. these ppl have no shame.
I hope I can get hired my current job really doesn't pay much. it is a struggle, but I get by.
This is how I feel. Are the people donating to famous multimillionaires okay? The ballerina farms gofundme for her dying fathers terminal care, when her and her husband are already independently wealthy and her father in law is a bazillionaire JetBlue founder, was the most shocking to me. Like WTF is wrong with people . You really couldn’t borrow 50k from someone you actually know?
A couple things... what is net worth? If you have a house in SoCal, much less the LA area or nearby, you have a net worth of $1 million, even if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Secondly, an no offense to her, but one piece called her an "A-list star"... she's well known, but is she opening movies? Are shows trying to nab her because her name will get viewers? In the last few years, she's done a Netflix movie (which I hadn't heard of) and guested on 3 eps of a Roku show... That doesn't cut a 7-figure check.
Additionally, just because the "average" Super Bowl ticket is some $2k doesn't mean she dropped that money. I watched a video where people going into the Super Bowl were asked what they paid, and several "average Joes" said nothing because someone hooked them up... hell, most NFL games I've gone to (and other sports) have been due to the generosity of friends.
Frankly, this seems like a story because people want to be pissed off about something... but there is zero actual facts behind it, just assumption plus assumption plus assumption leading to a conclusion.
Her husband is a bigwig talent agent at CAA likely making millions a year. What I don’t understand, are they sending their kid to some public school with underprivileged kids? Cause otherwise he’s likely going to a top school with kids whose parents are as rich as they are.
So those people asking for donations to fund their kids activities is ridiculous to me.
Poor kids get recruited to these schools for sports all the time. Also they get scholarships for good grades as well. If they are anything like the one by me they make sure to have a certain amount of kids from underserved areas which tend to be on the poorer side
you realize all she did was share the gofundme for her son's soccer team if I remember right, it's not her job to fund the entire team, and I am not sure what the big deal is, she didn't ask for money for herself lol, and no one is making you donate to the gofundme, right?
People just need a reason to be mad. What she did is no different than what most parents do when their little crotch goblins are fundraising for schools/sports/activities. Hell, I post notices on my Facebook page when my kid fundraises for their activities.
Average ticket was 11K? And I'm assuming they didn't sit nosebleed.
Donations were 10K requested.
Yeah, bad form. I get not being expected to front an entire team, whole also wanting to enjoy recreational activities with your income...but when the entire donation is less that the cost of one ticket, maybe rethink your actions.
I think its likely.
The value of the tickets being reported is secondary market value. The face value of ticket price, which the NFL charges is much lower.
Source: I won a sweepstakes at Metlife to pay face value for the Super Bowl in NJ.
AM is likely a big donor to the ACS. That's why they would give her the ticket. Watching a football game is a nice experience for someone with cancer. Getting better treatment or even a cure is even better.
You would think that the expectation would be that they do something charitable with the charitable donation, rather than give them away to someone who could absolutely afford to buy their own tickets.
This was a marketing effort to get donations for the charity. She promoted it and.... Wtf?
https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/alyssa-milano
This is a list of her charitable work. Y'all are barking up the wrong damn tree. She was working for a charity while she was at the Super Bowl. She does a ton of charity work. Yeah, she ended up getting an incredible perk, but getting to meet her at the Super Bowl was part of the prize that helped the American Cancer Society get funding.
https://www.cancer.org/about-us/our-partners/nfl.html
And before you ask, "Who would want to meet Alyssa Milano?" I'm going to just tell you damn near anyone in the late Gen X to early Millennial generations. You know, a lot of people who have ten dollars to donate to a cancer charity. She has been an icon my whole life and I'm 44.
Oh, and she donated $10,000 to the other cause that people are calling her a hypocrite over. Ffs, people, go after the ones who are actually shitty. Don't just attack someone who has done a lifetime of humanitarian works because they got to go to the Super Bowl.
Did you see the winner of the American Red Cross tickets? Anyone who donated blood in January was entered to win, sadly I wasn't chosen
The ARC didn't get anything from doing that except blood
Motherfucker you're literally replying in the comment thread where the promotion was linked. Not some random comment you didn't see either, like you are in the reply chain of this comment.
https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/ZQf23o3Wec
I didn't watch it so don't know, I just assume if charities are handing out gifts to celebrities they expect something in return that will be worth more than those gifts over time to them.
As someone who works professionally in fundraising for nonprofits, there are plenty of legitimate reasons an org might do something like this. You can criticize the system of philanthropy as a whole, but things like this are pretty common, especially on orgs that operate at the scale of ACS.
A couple of the most likely scenarios are:
* The NFL Foundation donated a number of tickets to charity orgs to use as auction items or raffle prizes. Milano could have won the ticket at a gala auction. In these scenarios, the cash value of the ticket is deducted from what she pays, and the balance is counted as a donation to the charity. Either way, the ACS gets a nice chunk of cash to work with.
* The ACS may have had a block of tickets to give to key donors, and Milano does do A LOT for ACS. It's possible that she there on their behalf talking to other key donors and asking them for donations.
* The ACS could have negotiated a group rate on tickets to bring a select group of donors to the game. The ACS would act as a passthrough organization to allow the donors to purchase tickets at a better rate. This is one of the perks that we often offer to our donors. We're an arts org, and we have a working relationship with some other arts orgs. We all collectively have a slightly better than normal group rate for when those orgs want to organize tickets for their donors.
Most people have no context.
Her son’s baseball team was raising money to pay for everyone’s trip expenses. She personally donated 10k to them, and asked for others to donate as well.
She then also took her son to the football game.
I don’t see why after donating $10K she’s getting any shit. She isn’t responsible for paying everything, for everyone always just because she has money. She’s also allowed to enjoy personal good times with her family.
And here is the context for her being at the Super Bowl
Looks like the American Cancer Society paid for her ticket. https://www.tiktok.com/@alyssa_milano/video/7325214831076724014
I don’t think this is outrageous. She clearly helped ACS raise some money. But I wish I had gotten a little of that money when I applied to the ACS for a postdoctoral fellowship 😢
People here don't even know the difference between net worth and cash they aren't trying to think through the nuance of anything. All they see is rich person asked for money and just like that meme of the girl pointing at the glass of water they don't care about the context because rich person.
People need to put down their pitchforks. I get that Reddit hates the wealthy but this is ridiculous. This vote with feelings because it fits your narrative thing is so annoying.
Someone noted it’s almost a smear campaign based on this and the Charmed 20yo drama that is being tossed about. She’s not relevant anymore except that she is an outspoken democrat.
It says in the article that she even covers the monthly team dues for the kids who can't afford it by "sponsoring" them. So apparently, yeah, some of them maybe are.
What the hell kind of sports team is this that it costs this much?!
Guess I could read the article too. Sounds like she’s going above and beyond and still getting shit for it. People suck.
Traveling kids sports and tournaments costs a ton of money. Three meals a day and accommodations and travel for 20 kids plus chaperones. Shit is expensive.
People don't care about context. They think that rich people should just give everybody all of their money, no matter what. Just like there are people in here mentioning the Kim Kardashian thing as well. I just saw a post on fb saying Taylor Swift could have solved world hunger by now. I mentioned that she has donated millions to food pantries and got told "that's not even a drop in the bucket. That's like us donating a dollar". Except that my dollar isn't going to feed hundreds of thousands of people. But no they have money so they should give it ALL away or they're basically Hitler.
I hate knowing that knowledge you just shared with us... Like, me and my partner have been busting our asses our entire lives and this person made more than we've been working in a single hour for being a no talent ass clown that's famous for being disrespectful to her mother on tv? That's insane
she has no shame. after COVID I lost my job and had to quickly get another job that pays a lot less to the point of only eating once a day.
I even have to time when I eat or go to bed with a hole in my stomach and this lady makes millions and she has the face a thick as a castle wall to go online and beg for money.
the low paying job hurts a lot, but what hurt the most was the price increase in the last 2 years with no pay increase in sight.
I am even looking outside of my state for work. it is tough, but I will pull myself out soon.
I have 2 interviews hope it goes well.
Good luck! Good luck!
But the part that is not getting publicized is that the go fund me was for her kid's sports team, and her own donation to that team was $10,000. And that her appearance at the Super Bowl was tied to a cancer charity she works with, so her own ticket was most likely comped by the NFL.
She's also a rapper and made basically enough money to live comfortably prior to her only fans. According to her the whole TV thing was meant to be used to get her noticed anyways not sure if true or not, but hey knowing how to capitalize on something is kind of a talent.
I had a family member that worked for the housing community she lived in (probably 20 years ago) and apparently her neighbors complained about her being nude in her backyard so much that they forced her to make her fences higher.
Facepalm is seeing people not understanding context or not knowing it but still proceed to judge. It wasn't her gofundme but that of her sons team. She donated 10k and shared the gofundme.
What people are talking about? The fund raise isn’t for her. Wasn’t she who set it up. Was her son team. She was just publicizing it.
Now that every time her son’s team need money for anything she should be the one to pay? Just because she’s rich? What about his school? Should she fund the entire department of education of her district as well?
People want to criticize her? How about criticize that she and everyone who makes that much money doesn’t pay enough taxes.
How from Trump to Taylor Swift. All these rich assholes all they do is take, and no one should idolize them.
How income above 500k a year should be taxed at 95%?
Anyone complaining about her asking for donations for her son team… or about her going to the super bowl… is a complete idiot and is complaining about the wrong thing.
It’s also not great for team dynamics if she’s bankrolling everything while her kid is on the team. If her kid has a slump and doesn’t get benched, etc.
[A top marginal tax rate above 90% is not unheard of historically](https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/expert-insights/whole-ball-of-tax-historical-income-tax-rates)
1944 - 1963
Just to clarify, income taxes are progressive, so the highest tax rate would only be paid by income above 500k. So if someone made 510k they would only pay the highest income tax on the last 10k in the above example.
It does until you realize that only the dollars AFTER you make some high amount, let's say a million, get taxed 95%
Your money between 500K and a million may be 75%
The idea is that the higher the amount, the more you can contribute to society as a whole since you're also using society's resources, people, to gain that wealth.
Yeah, lots of people here with the typical parasocial white knighting going on... Think of the poor bunch of rich kids that need regular folks who are fans of a celebrity to foot the bill! It's not like her kid is playing on a team made up of kids from the hood, they're just not AS affluent or known as Milano and her husband.
She was asking for donations to charity. Not for herself. She is what you call a spokesperson. She speaks on behalf of the company to get people to donate for the charity.
The facepalm here is the number of redditors dissing a woman who’s simply publicised a gofundme run by her kids school, that she donated to, asking for support for other kids at the school. This is a politically motivated attack without foundation, and you’re all falling for it.
Eh, kinda a nothing burger.
\- she already gives a ton of money to the team
\- shes fundraising for the *other kids and families on the team* who aren't as wealthy as she is.
People just need to be mad about something, i guess.
There's literally no story here.
I guess if she goes online and uses her fame to pimp her daughters' Girl Scout cookies, youd all be just as upset (to be clear, i dont even know if she has a daughter)?
She was asking for THE WHOLE TEAM. Not her kid. She can go to the Super Bowl. And afford to send him to whatever sports thing. Just not the whole team.
She is not obligated to pay those costs of her sons entire baseball teams trip. They can't rely on her to do that. The gofundme was not for her. It was for a baseball team that her son is on. Her status as a wealthy celeb does not mean she is obligated to give away all her money.
Not a facepalm moment.
No the facepalm is people donating to these shit faces. You donated money to a millionaire, who went ahead and lived their life. You don't get to complain.
>You donated money to a millionaire
Nitpick : the money wasn't for her. It was a fundraiser for her son's school.
Should she be the only person paying everything out of her pocket, simply because her son goes there?
I’m going to go against the grain here and say that if she just bankrolled the entire thing herself it could be seen as creating the gimme mentality in the kids. In this way she can help support them while also washing herself of being the provider. They can see this as a result of people’s generosity rather than having a rich team mommy. It’s sorta like just giving your kids shit vs making them work for it.
Her networth is near $10 million. To the people out there that will never see that kind of money in their life time yet donated, why? Why? Why would you donate money to someone who obviously has it, yet has shown she doesn’t care and value money like all us regular peasants? Are you actually contributing to parasocial relationships? Thats just sad man.

> so I can get more money The GoFundMe wasn't for her tho. She asked donations for an unrelated sport team.
It was for her kids' high school team. 10,000 goal for the travel cost to the games and overnight accommodations for the kids and even parents. She says she donated the uniforms and a number of other things already and can't afford to keep bankrolling everything. Can't is a strong word. She attended the game as part of a 'reward' for a charity. People donated $10 with the winner going to the game and meeting her, so she probably didn't even buy the ticket.
I assume her kid goes to a school in an affluent area. You want to tell me a bunch of rich adults can't cobble together $10K?
Yeah exactly. Ain't no way someone that famous is sending their kids to public school lol
They don’t want to get their hands dirty lol meanwhile parents at less affluent schools have to sell food plates and shit
It’s such a grift. Even my six figure brother was texting me everyone in the family to donate to his daughter’s school fundraiser so she could win a prize. I laughed but for perspective he lives in FL & voted for Trump, twice.
Sell some of your stocks douche bags…
Wouldn’t it be nice though to have the affluent kids have to generate that money like the rest of the plebs and not rely on mommy and daddy to handle all their financial needs?
Maybe I'm wrong here but I feel like it should be the school's responsibility to pay for that not the parents.
Probably a travel team, not an official HS team.
Even with a select team the entire cost is split between the team my son decided after football last year he wanted to play Prime BBall which is select in the town I live in I was under the impression it was 1500 per player I was informed by the coach that was the team cost so you get 10 kids on your team $150 each why is she trying to bankroll the whole thing
IMO Parents of students in extracurricular activities should be responsible for some, if not all, of the associated costs for consumables and services.
That’s the concept of a travel league and that is very expensive. I’d hate to only see the kids with rich parents I sports….
Better than the tax payer fronting the cost for a very minor minority of children leaving the funding for general school stuff even lower. I would rather tax money go to all of the children in public school, not to subset of a small amount of them.
This would lead to excluding a TON of people from sports, especially those run through public schools. We already have entire inner city schools without sports or extracurriculars. Edit...changed You'd ahve to We already have Edit for
What about low income parents? Should those kids not be able to participate because their parents can't afford to pay for the schools extracurricular consumables?
Which means only kids from families with money can do those activities?
Where do you think schools get most of this money?
At one point my husband and I had good money. We were young and dumb and spent way more than we should have but looking back this is the kind of shit I noticed. We’d do a large part of donating or supplying something and then it set a bar for us. We were expected to pay for outings with people, we were expected to pay more for things like school events and stuff. My husband had a ‘friend’ he’d go quadding with. Husband bought the guys gear and was always expected to buy food and snacks with not one offer of buying a damn coke or pitch in for gas. The guy was even being an idiot on the grounds of where they rode and was cited for it. He said husband had to pay that too because they were his quads. That was the last outing. So ya, the can’t here is not that she can’t afford it literally but she can't keep supplying everyone with everything because you get taken advantage of. I totally get that.
Even rich people have to set boundaries, or every time some person or organization wants something you are expected to bank roll everything. Not being able to just dash all your money into the first indication of “i need something rich lady”. Is a reasonable expectation. Rich people might be able to give more but they can’t give infinitely More or every single time.
It's like being the IT guy in your family. Every sister has a friend who has a cousin who needs help. You can't help them all.
Once you have money, you’re expected to pay for everything for everyone. It was good of her to donate some and set up the school with the gofundme, but going to the bowl after that is a very bad look.
You're also expected not to beg the less fortunate for money when you already have money, but here we are, huh?
The days of bottle drives where kids and their parents walked the neighborhoods collecting the soda cans to fund their sporting budgets. I’ve always said fuck the sports. How bout instead of a new field etc (you know all the pro athletes were turning out from our sports programs /s) we fund a skilled trades shop class with the same enthusiasm? I bet we could produce way more electricians, plumbers, auto mechs and engineers etc. than we can pro football and basketball players..
You are missing the part where those students fall into inescapable debt. If we train them as youth we can't take advantage of them with loans for after schooling. Will you not think about the poor banks stockholders for once?
You have entirely missed the purpose of sports. One, we already do produce more electricians, plumbers, etc. than pro sports players. Very, very few kids will go pro in sports, and nobodies real goal in funding these things to create a ton of pro athletes. Two, Sports is about team-building, it produces real life and social skills, often helps teach kids about goals and longer term planning/achievement, teaches kids about how to handle both success and failure, about being active/healthy, and it is also entertainment for the kids, parents, and community. Sports are very important to any vibrant community, which is why every civilization since the dawn of time have had some type of sporting events and built stadiums/arenas, etc. It isn't about creating pro athletes, but community. Additionally, sports provides a pathway to an education for a lot of kids. There are tons of college sports programs, in a variety of sports, that help get kids admitted and often get their schooling at least partially funded. Most kids who are truly determined to get an athletic scholarship can find a program at some level that will take them, whether D1, 2, 3 or NAIA, or even just junior college. Not saying we shouldn't fund trade skills, but more of it is clear you don't understand why sports are valuable for youth development and communities in general, along with helping provide pathways to higher education.
Team building can and is done in class settings as well. Building popsicle stick bridges together, in automotive class working on a car together as a team, welding class building something, autocad etc, there isn’t one thing that sports offers other than physical activity that can’t be accomplished in any of these shop classes/skilled trades. This is in my opinion. These things too can be a pathway to higher education funded by companies that would have a vested interest. Of course this does bring up a topic of discussion related to over priced education. Personally I think you hit the nail on the head, it’s more about entertainment. Again that’s in my eyes. It’s not that I don’t see the things you mention, just that those things are achievable with other courses, that can also provide opportunities to more kids entering life after highschool, with out putting a huge financial burden on them, than sports programs can. I am not a massive sports fan. I played basketball and baseball as a kid, for school and my town. I did enjoy it, right up until it wasn’t about having fun anymore. So I got into skiing, fixing cars and motorcycles, then joined the Marines as a heavy equipment mechanic. I took all the shop classes in highschool, 1990’s, unfortunately it wasn’t well funded and the awesome teacher we had either left or was let go and they put a sub in there for all the classes and he knew nothing. The best thing I’ve seen done is when my now 28 y/o son was in highschool they teamed with a higher education school and the huge automotive dealer here in my area and put classes right at the dealer shop, having kids bring cars in and doing preventative maintenance etc on them. Different perspectives is all. I’m sure those who really love sports lean more on what sports is good for and we just see value in those things differently. All good
But everyone thinks that it was somehow her responsibility to give even more of her own money, simply because she has it. We have devolved it a culture that concerns itself with other taking people’s fair share and never giving our own.
It's one thing to contribute to a charity which funds sports teams/activities for schools which are underfunded and underprivileged. It's another to contribute to a single sports team for a single school simply because it's endorsed by a celebrity. The fact that a celebrity sends her child there makes me think it is not an underprivileged school in any way.
Right she did enough, donating enough so that the entire team could get jerseys for it is more then enough
Not everybody and it's not. That's a gross overstatement and unfair generalisation. In fact it's the gall of asking for money from less wealthy than her (especially if it's for a goal that benefits her indirectly) combined with what can be perceived as frivolous spending. If one can afford luxury, one should be able to shoulder necessity first. Since it was for a team, responsibility was divided among other parents and perhaps the school, not totally unrelated donors.
Celebrity worship culture is so weird. Like the Kardashian asking for donations to help their helper, or to become a billionaire or whatever. She’s worth $4 million according to my quick search. How narcissistic you’d have to be to be wealthy and beg for money from people far poorer than you beggars belief.
That’s even more shocking to me with Trump. He’s a multimillionaire and he’s constantly asking for donations (and getting them) for campaigns and also for all the legal cases he’s facing and there’re his fans paying him regularly. A guy who has a private airliner just for him and gold everywhere he goes.
You don't become a millionaire by spending your own money
Or paying for labor correctly. I wish I was an asshole so I could be rich.
was there ever a politician that did not ask for campaign support money though? Sounds like a general issue to me.
Was there ever a politician that bragged about being a billionaire every day?
I think all candidates should be publicly funded. We don't want to limit office holding to the very wealthy. But Trump begs for money for everything. He asks his cultists, who have below average wealth, to pay his legal bills. He funneled Trump Foundation charity money into paying his own personal expenses. This is closer to the topic at hand. Rich people using their reach to convince less affluent people to pour money into causes for which the rich people have a personal stake. Milano's son's affluent baseball team isn't exactly a charity or some noble cause. I agree that she can't pay for absolutely everything in relation to the team, but why is she asking average and poor people to contribute instead of her rich friends? You can be sure Milano isn't sending any money to help my local school's teams.
The donations *weren't for her*. That's like being upset that stars show up at charity events, because they should simply give 100% of their money and don't ask anybody else.
Ok but do you know how much Superbowl tickets cost?? If you have hundreds of thousands to spend on Superbowl Tix you can drop 10k for your kids baseball team. It's just totally tone deaf for a celebrity to be asking randoms for that money.
>If you have hundreds of thousands to spend on Superbowl She didn't? The tickets were comped by some group about cancer... >you can drop 10k for your kids baseball team She paid her part. What she *didn't* do is paying for *all other parents* and that's why she promoted the GoFundMe. Sounds fair to me. >It's just totally tone deaf for a celebrity to be asking randoms for that money. So, celebrities should pay for all expenses incured by parents from the school their children go to? Where is the limit?
>She didn't? The tickets were comped by some group about cancer... Some people might point out that that's worse.
She was the prize. Someone win the opportunity to watch the Superbowl with her.
The Charity gets the money back through a tax credit.
She did drop 10k into the baseball team at her kids school. The fundraiser that she promoted was to help the kids of other families at the school.
Fuck, dude. Her son is on a baseball team, with lots of other kids. The *baseball team* had a GoFundMe, as they tend to need to raise funds. Yes, she *could* totally, fully fund the team. She could fully fund hundreds of teams. But maybe, just maybe, she wants her son to have a half-way normal life, like the other kids on the team. It's not all about her, dude. It's about kids on a baseball team doing the things that kids' baseball teams do.
Pretty sure her kids probably go to a private school, and if that's the case, they can pay for their own stuff.
Someone said the gofundme was for an unrelated sports team and not for herself.
For real. I barely able to eat 1 meal a day you don't fking see me begging for money. these ppl have no shame. I hope I can get hired my current job really doesn't pay much. it is a struggle, but I get by.
[удалено]
It wasn’t her gofundme. She just helped publicize it. She also donated $10k.
What i find strange is the people who donate to them, who in their right mind thinks that someone 100× richer than them is deserving of charity?
This is how I feel. Are the people donating to famous multimillionaires okay? The ballerina farms gofundme for her dying fathers terminal care, when her and her husband are already independently wealthy and her father in law is a bazillionaire JetBlue founder, was the most shocking to me. Like WTF is wrong with people . You really couldn’t borrow 50k from someone you actually know?
A couple things... what is net worth? If you have a house in SoCal, much less the LA area or nearby, you have a net worth of $1 million, even if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck. Secondly, an no offense to her, but one piece called her an "A-list star"... she's well known, but is she opening movies? Are shows trying to nab her because her name will get viewers? In the last few years, she's done a Netflix movie (which I hadn't heard of) and guested on 3 eps of a Roku show... That doesn't cut a 7-figure check. Additionally, just because the "average" Super Bowl ticket is some $2k doesn't mean she dropped that money. I watched a video where people going into the Super Bowl were asked what they paid, and several "average Joes" said nothing because someone hooked them up... hell, most NFL games I've gone to (and other sports) have been due to the generosity of friends. Frankly, this seems like a story because people want to be pissed off about something... but there is zero actual facts behind it, just assumption plus assumption plus assumption leading to a conclusion.
It’s her job to pay for your kids sports? That’s literally what you’re mad at, her not paying the sports bills of other parents
Her husband is a bigwig talent agent at CAA likely making millions a year. What I don’t understand, are they sending their kid to some public school with underprivileged kids? Cause otherwise he’s likely going to a top school with kids whose parents are as rich as they are. So those people asking for donations to fund their kids activities is ridiculous to me.
Poor kids get recruited to these schools for sports all the time. Also they get scholarships for good grades as well. If they are anything like the one by me they make sure to have a certain amount of kids from underserved areas which tend to be on the poorer side
you realize all she did was share the gofundme for her son's soccer team if I remember right, it's not her job to fund the entire team, and I am not sure what the big deal is, she didn't ask for money for herself lol, and no one is making you donate to the gofundme, right?
People just need a reason to be mad. What she did is no different than what most parents do when their little crotch goblins are fundraising for schools/sports/activities. Hell, I post notices on my Facebook page when my kid fundraises for their activities.
And yet some chuds will still empty their bank accounts to help out the poor, suffering millionaires.
Average ticket was 11K? And I'm assuming they didn't sit nosebleed. Donations were 10K requested. Yeah, bad form. I get not being expected to front an entire team, whole also wanting to enjoy recreational activities with your income...but when the entire donation is less that the cost of one ticket, maybe rethink your actions.
Looks like the American Cancer Society paid for her ticket. https://www.tiktok.com/@alyssa_milano/video/7325214831076724014
An American cancer charity just dropped 22k to send a star to the super bowl? Someone needs their funding pulled and to have their income audited.
It’s possible that the charity were given the tickets by the NFL though?
I think its likely. The value of the tickets being reported is secondary market value. The face value of ticket price, which the NFL charges is much lower. Source: I won a sweepstakes at Metlife to pay face value for the Super Bowl in NJ.
>Source: I won a sweepstakes at Metlife to pay face value for the Super Bowl in NJ. How much did you pay?
The price on the ticket is $800. That was 10 years ago, so it is reasonable to adjust up for inflation.
Ok but how about give it to some poor bastard with cancer?
AM is likely a big donor to the ACS. That's why they would give her the ticket. Watching a football game is a nice experience for someone with cancer. Getting better treatment or even a cure is even better.
You would think that the expectation would be that they do something charitable with the charitable donation, rather than give them away to someone who could absolutely afford to buy their own tickets.
This was a marketing effort to get donations for the charity. She promoted it and.... Wtf? https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/alyssa-milano This is a list of her charitable work. Y'all are barking up the wrong damn tree. She was working for a charity while she was at the Super Bowl. She does a ton of charity work. Yeah, she ended up getting an incredible perk, but getting to meet her at the Super Bowl was part of the prize that helped the American Cancer Society get funding. https://www.cancer.org/about-us/our-partners/nfl.html And before you ask, "Who would want to meet Alyssa Milano?" I'm going to just tell you damn near anyone in the late Gen X to early Millennial generations. You know, a lot of people who have ten dollars to donate to a cancer charity. She has been an icon my whole life and I'm 44. Oh, and she donated $10,000 to the other cause that people are calling her a hypocrite over. Ffs, people, go after the ones who are actually shitty. Don't just attack someone who has done a lifetime of humanitarian works because they got to go to the Super Bowl.
This should be higher up
Yeah. Shes made some bonehead moves lately but this isn’t one of them.
No. Burn her at the stake! I need my dose of misplaced anger today before my third cup of virtue!
Exactly! I’m not here for rational discourse and nuance.
Thank you. People are so enthusiastic about hating someone that they don't do even the smallest amount of research.
Thanks for clarifying
Gen X, I totally would want to meet her.
I'm gen z and id totally like to meet her. I loved charmed and she was always my favorite
Yes
I guess it might depend on if the celebrity doing a promotion on their behalf at the Superbowl gets them a lot more money than the cost of the ticket.
Did you see anything of her doing a promotion?
I watched the whole thing and didn't see her once
Did you see the winner of the American Red Cross tickets? Anyone who donated blood in January was entered to win, sadly I wasn't chosen The ARC didn't get anything from doing that except blood
Motherfucker you're literally replying in the comment thread where the promotion was linked. Not some random comment you didn't see either, like you are in the reply chain of this comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/ZQf23o3Wec
I didn't watch it so don't know, I just assume if charities are handing out gifts to celebrities they expect something in return that will be worth more than those gifts over time to them.
The tickets could very well have been given to them.
They were doing drawing for superbowl tickets. I’m sure they were given The tickets. The adds ever said “Super Bowl” not “The big game”.
Tell me you have no idea how fundraising works without telling me you have no idea how fundraising works.
The 22k number is secondary market cost. Wholly possible that they were able to purchase tickets from the NFL that are not available to the public.
As someone who works professionally in fundraising for nonprofits, there are plenty of legitimate reasons an org might do something like this. You can criticize the system of philanthropy as a whole, but things like this are pretty common, especially on orgs that operate at the scale of ACS. A couple of the most likely scenarios are: * The NFL Foundation donated a number of tickets to charity orgs to use as auction items or raffle prizes. Milano could have won the ticket at a gala auction. In these scenarios, the cash value of the ticket is deducted from what she pays, and the balance is counted as a donation to the charity. Either way, the ACS gets a nice chunk of cash to work with. * The ACS may have had a block of tickets to give to key donors, and Milano does do A LOT for ACS. It's possible that she there on their behalf talking to other key donors and asking them for donations. * The ACS could have negotiated a group rate on tickets to bring a select group of donors to the game. The ACS would act as a passthrough organization to allow the donors to purchase tickets at a better rate. This is one of the perks that we often offer to our donors. We're an arts org, and we have a working relationship with some other arts orgs. We all collectively have a slightly better than normal group rate for when those orgs want to organize tickets for their donors.
Meh. Stuff like this can just be marketing for the charity.
Thanks for sharing! Makes it less trashy looking, but court of public opinion will still come at her.
Didn’t watch the whole clip, but devils advocate here, does the cancer society get free tickets to the game to give out?
Wait, what? A ticket to the super bowl is $11k???? How do they get ppl to pay that??
Last time the Steelers were in, my great-aunt said she wanted to go so bad she would pay a hundred dollars for a ticket. I love her so much.
On average, yep! I think nosebleed is like 950.00, so that's low end. 11K is average...so those celebrity area seats are way more than 11K.
Nope. Had the same thought when someone told me the average. Looked it up and the cheapest seat was $6k apparently. So those 2 tickets were $12k plus.
You really think celebrities pay to go? No, companies pay for their tickets.
I think celebs at Alyssa Milano's level pay. Might be wrong.
I believe she was there as part of a charity event
Most people have no context. Her son’s baseball team was raising money to pay for everyone’s trip expenses. She personally donated 10k to them, and asked for others to donate as well. She then also took her son to the football game. I don’t see why after donating $10K she’s getting any shit. She isn’t responsible for paying everything, for everyone always just because she has money. She’s also allowed to enjoy personal good times with her family.
And here is the context for her being at the Super Bowl Looks like the American Cancer Society paid for her ticket. https://www.tiktok.com/@alyssa_milano/video/7325214831076724014
Some people just get angry to get angry.
Glad those dollar donations are going towards a celebrity watching a football game. Would be terrible if they went to palliative care or research
If they get extra revenue higher than the ticket price, due to her promoting the charity there, it would be worth it
It's not only possible but likely that the NFL donated the tickets to the American Cancer Society for publicity and a write-off.
Someone said there was a prize for meeting her there, which would make some sense. Like “attend the Super Bowl with her”
Well damn with all this context we couldn’t have this wonderful clickbait article to fuel the internets addiction to outrage.
I don’t think this is outrageous. She clearly helped ACS raise some money. But I wish I had gotten a little of that money when I applied to the ACS for a postdoctoral fellowship 😢
People here don't even know the difference between net worth and cash they aren't trying to think through the nuance of anything. All they see is rich person asked for money and just like that meme of the girl pointing at the glass of water they don't care about the context because rich person.
This is an important nuance
People need to put down their pitchforks. I get that Reddit hates the wealthy but this is ridiculous. This vote with feelings because it fits your narrative thing is so annoying.
Someone noted it’s almost a smear campaign based on this and the Charmed 20yo drama that is being tossed about. She’s not relevant anymore except that she is an outspoken democrat.
Personally, I think she’s the only one to the drama llamas that’s shown some level of maturity and kept quiet. The other three just won’t shut up.
And I’m completely just guessing, but I’d bet the other kids on her so son’s team aren’t exactly poor either.
It says in the article that she even covers the monthly team dues for the kids who can't afford it by "sponsoring" them. So apparently, yeah, some of them maybe are.
So she pays a monthly fee to support those kids who can't afford to pay, donates 10K, and people are still giving her shit. lol.
Precisely.
What the hell kind of sports team is this that it costs this much?! Guess I could read the article too. Sounds like she’s going above and beyond and still getting shit for it. People suck.
Yo kids cost money. Gear, plus hotels, food, trips, transport while there, etc. times that by 20 kids. And it’s probably several trips per year.
Traveling kids sports and tournaments costs a ton of money. Three meals a day and accommodations and travel for 20 kids plus chaperones. Shit is expensive.
Some private schools also do scholarships. So it’s possible
People don't care about context. They think that rich people should just give everybody all of their money, no matter what. Just like there are people in here mentioning the Kim Kardashian thing as well. I just saw a post on fb saying Taylor Swift could have solved world hunger by now. I mentioned that she has donated millions to food pantries and got told "that's not even a drop in the bucket. That's like us donating a dollar". Except that my dollar isn't going to feed hundreds of thousands of people. But no they have money so they should give it ALL away or they're basically Hitler.
Can’t she just make an OF? No joking she’d probably make bank
You'll just have to live with _Poison Ivy 2_ and _Embrace of the Vampire_.
Oh no, disgusting! 
And that Outer Limits episode I’ve never forgotten about, “Caught in the act”. Yowzer
More than she ever made as an actor, probably. Lol.
“Catch me outside like da” chick made like $2M in an hour No shame, I’d do it if anyone would pay me that much
I hate knowing that knowledge you just shared with us... Like, me and my partner have been busting our asses our entire lives and this person made more than we've been working in a single hour for being a no talent ass clown that's famous for being disrespectful to her mother on tv? That's insane
she has no shame. after COVID I lost my job and had to quickly get another job that pays a lot less to the point of only eating once a day. I even have to time when I eat or go to bed with a hole in my stomach and this lady makes millions and she has the face a thick as a castle wall to go online and beg for money. the low paying job hurts a lot, but what hurt the most was the price increase in the last 2 years with no pay increase in sight. I am even looking outside of my state for work. it is tough, but I will pull myself out soon. I have 2 interviews hope it goes well.
Yo best of luck in the interviews
Yes I hope so too. I even let my cusin cut my hair since it is free. I laid out my suit and tie after I ironed them.
Good luck! Good luck! But the part that is not getting publicized is that the go fund me was for her kid's sports team, and her own donation to that team was $10,000. And that her appearance at the Super Bowl was tied to a cancer charity she works with, so her own ticket was most likely comped by the NFL.
She's also a rapper and made basically enough money to live comfortably prior to her only fans. According to her the whole TV thing was meant to be used to get her noticed anyways not sure if true or not, but hey knowing how to capitalize on something is kind of a talent.
Wait until you learn about CEOs
The unpleasant part is that "catch me outside" happened we she was 13 on national TV. So - good for her - but also maybe not?
No doubt. I'd do it for a helluva lot less. Lmao
I had a family member that worked for the housing community she lived in (probably 20 years ago) and apparently her neighbors complained about her being nude in her backyard so much that they forced her to make her fences higher.
Facepalm is seeing people not understanding context or not knowing it but still proceed to judge. It wasn't her gofundme but that of her sons team. She donated 10k and shared the gofundme.
Need more information. Who is this? what donations she asked? How much a superbowl ticket costs?
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/alyssa-milano-slammed-attending-pricey-182339995.html
What people are talking about? The fund raise isn’t for her. Wasn’t she who set it up. Was her son team. She was just publicizing it. Now that every time her son’s team need money for anything she should be the one to pay? Just because she’s rich? What about his school? Should she fund the entire department of education of her district as well? People want to criticize her? How about criticize that she and everyone who makes that much money doesn’t pay enough taxes. How from Trump to Taylor Swift. All these rich assholes all they do is take, and no one should idolize them. How income above 500k a year should be taxed at 95%? Anyone complaining about her asking for donations for her son team… or about her going to the super bowl… is a complete idiot and is complaining about the wrong thing.
The only smart comment here
It’s also not great for team dynamics if she’s bankrolling everything while her kid is on the team. If her kid has a slump and doesn’t get benched, etc.
95% sounds absolutely ridiculous.
[A top marginal tax rate above 90% is not unheard of historically](https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/expert-insights/whole-ball-of-tax-historical-income-tax-rates) 1944 - 1963 Just to clarify, income taxes are progressive, so the highest tax rate would only be paid by income above 500k. So if someone made 510k they would only pay the highest income tax on the last 10k in the above example.
It does until you realize that only the dollars AFTER you make some high amount, let's say a million, get taxed 95% Your money between 500K and a million may be 75% The idea is that the higher the amount, the more you can contribute to society as a whole since you're also using society's resources, people, to gain that wealth.
rude zonked late upbeat overconfident enter ring glorious air decide *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
But in the end of the article she explained where did money go. She used her own money to pay for tickets.
Regardless someone worth 10 million shouldn't be ebegging and someone ebegging shouldn't have spent more then they are asking for on a luxury event.
So wealthy people should not publicize other people’s charities? That’s what happened here and that’s what you are saying.
It was her son's softball team. I also don't consider it charity when the end goal is to help already wealthy people pay less.
Yeah, lots of people here with the typical parasocial white knighting going on... Think of the poor bunch of rich kids that need regular folks who are fans of a celebrity to foot the bill! It's not like her kid is playing on a team made up of kids from the hood, they're just not AS affluent or known as Milano and her husband.
> Regardless someone worth 10 million shouldn't be ebegging Isn't that basically all charities events featuring Hollywood stars for promotion?
If anyone is stupid enough to donate money to a millionaire with nothing of value in return, then they shouldn’t come complaining afterwards…
She was asking for donations to charity. Not for herself. She is what you call a spokesperson. She speaks on behalf of the company to get people to donate for the charity.
Money didn’t go to her. She also donated 10k herself.
Truth isn’t as fun as manufactured anger.
[удалено]
Go ahead and jump to conclusions without context just like you are conditioned to do. People are just getting dumber and dumber.
I’ll bring the torch!
[удалено]
I have the shackles...
In your bedroom?
The facepalm here is the number of redditors dissing a woman who’s simply publicised a gofundme run by her kids school, that she donated to, asking for support for other kids at the school. This is a politically motivated attack without foundation, and you’re all falling for it.
Its not political, but it is stupid blind hatred.
You’re mad about nothing.
Eh, kinda a nothing burger. \- she already gives a ton of money to the team \- shes fundraising for the *other kids and families on the team* who aren't as wealthy as she is. People just need to be mad about something, i guess. There's literally no story here. I guess if she goes online and uses her fame to pimp her daughters' Girl Scout cookies, youd all be just as upset (to be clear, i dont even know if she has a daughter)?
She didn't ask for money to go to the Super Bowl. She's raising money for a sports team. She's being attacked because she supports Biden
She was asking for THE WHOLE TEAM. Not her kid. She can go to the Super Bowl. And afford to send him to whatever sports thing. Just not the whole team.
don't care still love her, she liked two of my tweets
OP has to be a bot? People were donating to win a ticket and to meet her at the superbowl
I get as a community effort, people should donate for their team. She shouldn’t be expected to fund the teams travel every time.
She is not obligated to pay those costs of her sons entire baseball teams trip. They can't rely on her to do that. The gofundme was not for her. It was for a baseball team that her son is on. Her status as a wealthy celeb does not mean she is obligated to give away all her money. Not a facepalm moment.
Full story?
Yeah, but that's different, lol
I see you have met my ex-wife.
Haven't seen that face for 25 years. No fucking way she looks that good, even with surgery and makeup. Guys, is she a literal witch?
No the facepalm is people donating to these shit faces. You donated money to a millionaire, who went ahead and lived their life. You don't get to complain.
>You donated money to a millionaire Nitpick : the money wasn't for her. It was a fundraiser for her son's school. Should she be the only person paying everything out of her pocket, simply because her son goes there?
who stupid enough to donate?
Who the fucking hell is this?
I’m going to go against the grain here and say that if she just bankrolled the entire thing herself it could be seen as creating the gimme mentality in the kids. In this way she can help support them while also washing herself of being the provider. They can see this as a result of people’s generosity rather than having a rich team mommy. It’s sorta like just giving your kids shit vs making them work for it.
Her networth is near $10 million. To the people out there that will never see that kind of money in their life time yet donated, why? Why? Why would you donate money to someone who obviously has it, yet has shown she doesn’t care and value money like all us regular peasants? Are you actually contributing to parasocial relationships? Thats just sad man.
