A group of current and former Rams players will join NFLPA* chief DeMaurice Smith Thursday to help with the relief efforts in Joplin, Missouri.
NFLPA* spokesman George Atallah said the group came together with the help of FEMA.
We can smell some comments on the way saying this is a publicity grab. Complaining about how people donate their time and help is lazy even for the most cynical among us. Those in Joplin need the attention and the help, and it’s great the players are chipping in.
Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo and his staff similarly took time recently to help tornado victims in Ferguson, Missouri.
Anyone looking to donate money for those in need in Joplin can find out information here or contribute to the Red Cross in the area.
