He is such a classless guy.

He is such a classless guy.

Please. Lots of people have foundations. It says nothing about his character.

[ebrooks11]

Yeah your right .He probably funds a baby seal bashing club in the offseason.

[SMUer]

There's a club that throws parties for baby seals, how thoughtful...

[KnuckleStang]

I produce and host charity shows that raise over $6000/yr, and I am thoroughly classless. They are not mutually exclusive.

You must be right. Only reputable, classy people have foundations and support charities:

In June 2006, Vick, along with his brother Marcus Vick and mother Brenda Vick Boddie, established The Vick Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports at-risk youth and the after school programs that serve them in the Metro Atlanta and Hampton Roads areas. The announcement of the organization came just before the start of the foundation’s first fundraiser, the Michael Vick Golf Classic. The inaugural event was held at the prestigious Kingsmill Golf Course in James City County near Williamsburg, Virginia in partnership with The Virginia Tech Alumni Association Tidewater Chapter, and netted more than $80,000 for charity.[1]
After the Virginia Tech massacre in April 2007, Vick teamed up with the United Way to donate $10,000 to assist families affected by the tragedy.[88] Vick explained, "When tragic things like this happen, families have enough to deal with, and if I can help in some small way, that's the least I can do." The Vick Foundation is collecting donations from local communities in both Atlanta and Virginia that will be placed in the United In Caring Fund for Victims of the Virginia Tech Tragedy and the special fund at the United Way of Montgomery, Radford and Floyd counties, which serves the Virginia Tech area. Vick's foundation said the money will be used to provide help with funeral expenses, transportation for family members and other support services.
On April 24, 2007, Vick was scheduled to lobby on Capitol Hill, hoping to persuade lawmakers to increase funding for after-school programs. Vick missed a connecting flight in Atlanta on Monday to Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, and then failed to show-up for another seat booked for him later that evening. On Tuesday morning, he did not attend his scheduled appearance at the congressional breakfast where he also was to be honored for his foundation's work with after-school projects in Georgia and Virginia.[89] Vick's mother, Brenda Vick Boddie, accepted an award from the Afterschool Alliance on her son's behalf. The following day, police searched Vick's property in Surry County and there was soon widespread news media publicity about evidence of dog fighting which had been found there.

Come on guys and gals. Comparing Fran and Vic? That's a little over the top. Most high profile coaches have charities or foundations. What's the point here?

Just making the point that you don't have to be a great human being to have a foundation, that's all. I really don't consider Fran to be on the low level of Vick. Just trying to make a point.
