I don’t mind when white athletes publicly decide they want to talk about the positive things they are doing for the culture and black people.
I know some people think it was pandering, but help is help.
When they do it anonymously though it does let me know their heart is definitely in the right place.
Here is Peyton Manning good deed was found out.
Doug Williams endured some painful blindside hits as an NFL quarterback, but he embraced a recent one when he was informed that a certain foundation had endowed a scholarship in his name at his alma mater, Grambling State University.
“When I asked who did this, I was told the donor wished it to be anonymous,” said Williams, a senior vice president for the Washington Football Team.
“Ha, you know I have my connections at Grambling. I made a phone call and found out it was Peyton Manning’s foundation and it was endowing a half-dozen scholarships at historically Black colleges and universities [HBCUs]. Peyton is a Louisiana boy.
Manning’s Peyback Foundation, which was founded in 1999 by Peyton and his wife, Ashley, has endowed six scholarships at four HBCU schools in his home state of Louisiana and two in Tennessee, where he played collegiately at the University of Tennessee.
Peyton made sure the names of the scholarships were of prominent black alumni for each university.
Cool move from Manning.
