(An earlier version of this question was about whether Elliot's donation would inspire me to donate.)The short answer is no, because neither I nor my husband follow sports at all, and I had to look up who Ezekiel Elliot is, upon seeing this question.The longer answer is no, because, while I donate money and used household goods throughout the year, I make an effort to choose effective charitable organizations in line with my values, which the Salvation Army is not. Twelve reasons to reject the Salvation Army describes where they stand, and whether or not they've made any real changes in the few years since, I don't wish to invest in an entity that pushes religion and prolongs intolerance with its charity. (The NFL stands for an assortment of values I also don't share, but that is a story for another day.)I won't criticize the amount of the donation. Elliot's 2023 salary is $2.7M, and $21 is pocket change for most anyone these days, but I don't know whether Elliot makes additional donations privately, when he can pay with other than cash, when the amount is not symbolic of a score, or when he's not trying to make the point that even small donation amounts can add up and make a big difference. To me, all those are valid reasons for a wealthy and well-known person to donate a small amount of money.And who knows, perhaps Elliot shares my dim view of the organization and only made a small donation because the team or the NFL is promoting it.
