Total waste of money – this is like giving money to a drunk. Our school systems are failing our children – especially minorities.

More money is not the answer……the inflation adjusted $ per student is twice what it was 40 years ago….it’s the easy, but not correct answer.

We have major social issues in this country – those are much harder to fix.

Wonderful thing to do, LaMarr.

Bravo to Mr. Woodley! Even as a Browns fan I have to give credit where it’s due.
Being remembered as a “good man,” trumps anything else.

Hokie, James Harrison donates a lot of money to many causes. Get your facts straight before you slander someone. Just because he tackles harder then most are able, and plays the game with lot of passion does not make him a bad person. DISCLAIMER: FOOTBALL IS A CONTACT SPORT. THESE MEN GET PAID MILLIONS. Stop crying.

Great to read about NFL players doing things like this to get in the news.
Hats off to Woodley, even if he is a steeler and a wolverine from Saginasty.

Woodley is one of the most humble athletes in pro sports. Anyone that follows him on his facebook sees that he’s always posting candid home photos & videos….it’s refreshing to see that he’s just a normal human being like everyone else, who just happens to be blessed with God given talents on the field.

And a great gesture with the donation!

Steeler fans have you noticed what raven troll has not commented about lamar’s good deed? It is nice to see people who hate the steelers having to swallow their pride and compliment such a good deed. I compliment you for putting your envy aside when lauding a good move by a member of a classy team. Haters hate

It may not be woodley responsibility to bail any school out of money problems, but he unlike any of his fellow players gets that without us there is none of them. Just like the rich!

Wow, it’s nice to see someone actually give back to a community. $60,000 isn’t much in any of the players pockets and woodley is the only one that shows that he isn’t a selfish egotistical p.o.s. This country needs more ppl like that! You think any of these rich owners or c.e.o.’s would even think of doing something like that? Absolutely not!! They would rather buy another house or another yaht or another private jet. Nice to see there are some real human beings left that have money to help. As for the rest of you corporate fat cats, burn and rot in hell!

I am a Ravens fan, so I’m supposed to hate the Steelers…I can’t do it. Not when you see selfless acts like this. People when a role model in sports? Look to Mr. Woodley. Owners are worth Bazillions, and where are their stories like this? Next time the owners try to demonize the players, someone please bring this up.

Great story about LaMarr helping kids! Wonderful gesture and nice job!

Also, glad to see some rival fans can draw a line between their feelings for the Steelers in a football game and commenting on a great charity gesture that will help kids by a Steeler player. Nice job to all you as well.

As a Browns fan and a Buckeye I royally hate Lamarr Woodley, but as a teacher I love this.

Haha! I noticed the same thing. Like some guy just HAD to come on here and hit the thumbs down button one every single comment… get a life.

Thumbs up, Lamarr!

This is giving back to your community. I wish celebrities (actors & actresses, musicians, singers, etc) would also do the same thing.

I am a Dolphins and Lamarr Woodley fan now.

/TM.

I find it humorous that the same people who are congratulating him are the same ones who are going to be slandering him if he runs info financial trouble later in his life.

Kudos Lamar! Hats off! Buy here is my problem with the entire situation. Why are we as PEOPLE/ AMERICANS, waiting and wanted professional athletes to use the money they earn to bail us out or build up a community. That’s really not his responsibility. I applaud all who so call give back. One life guard can save the entire beach! We as people need to step up to the plate as a society and handle our business. The responsibilities is our as a whole and government. Repub’s vs. Dems vs. T party. When will we’ve people for all people. Yet we call ourselves Patriotic. Hippocrates.

Coming from a Ravens fan, I am not a fan of some of the big-mouthed things Lamarr has said about my team here recently, but I respect the hell outta this guy as a player. I’ve said for years that even though they feed off of eachother as a tandem, Lamarr has 10x the potential that Harrison ever had and he seems to get better every year. Now I’ve got a reason to respect the guy off the field too. Quality player and man. Now just don’t expect anymore kind words from this direction, hahaha.

Nice move Lamarr.

But, this isn’t the first time an NFL player has stepped in to help a Michigan High School football program THIS YEAR. Earlier this year, Jahvid Best and Ndamukong Suh helped a team replace equipment that was stolen, and paid for it themselves.

So for all of you who bash Ndamukong Suh, just remember he has a heart too.
