Sad, but Corral just became a millionaire, do they really need a gofundme right now trying to get donations from people scraping by with all this inflation?

Then don’t donate. Problem solved. Also, mind your own GD business. You sound like a real cry baby.

He's family now. If you can't give anything, nobody should judge you. This lady should be given the same courtesy.

I wonder if the people who are in here questioning why Matt Corral doesn't just pay for his cousin's kids took the time to read that Players Tribune piece by Tarik Cohen posted a few weeks ago. The money doesn't spread nearly as far as people want to believe.

I’ve known some NFL guys.   Some just bounce around for a couple years (that’s most guys)….and largely just grinding out very normal jobs like everyone else.  Getting in the league alone doesn’t set you up financially let alone your vast extended family.   

known some that didn’t even like people knowing they played a couple years.

Yep. Don’t know what’s going on with the family, don’t know the extent of the relationship to Matt and frankly it’s incredible ignorant to just expect someone who you don’t know and happens to be a pro athlete is on the hook for funeral expenses. They might just need some money to help with bills and if you are not involved with the family you don’t need to worry about it. Donate or butt out. Good Lord.

Everyone handles new found wealth differently. It’s fair to pass judgement when you hear about rich athletes and celebrities being god awful tippers and getting a DUI because they didn’t pay for an Uber - it’s not ok to whine about a pro athlete deciding to or not to pay for a family members funeral or medical expenses.

Maybe it's for funeral expenses. Life insurance (if she had it) might not have paid yet.

Here's the thing about any GoFundMe or whatever... if you don't like it and don't want to donate, just don't.

I mean, there are people who donate money to fuging politicians.

GoFundMe is the backbone of American medical expenses

Families and social circles have a tendency to get more "extended" than usual when somebody gets drafted or signed to an NFL team.

Corral likely isn't a millionaire just yet.

They don't pay him his entire salary just for signing his rookie contract.

It’s not his responsibility to support his entire family/ 

 

Why is this even a thought?

I don't see why anyone would see the family asking for $10k for 3 children not old enough to work to get by for like 6 months maybe? That's like food and clothes and school supplies. Sounds like she was a single mom working at a Chevy dealership, I doubt they would ask for such a modest amount if they had an easy immediate answer within the family. Who knows how they got Matt through school and camps and pre draft training etc..People were dogging him for having animosity when he was at a rich kid high school for a year or 2, maybe theres more to it behind the scenes that he felt guilty about
