Has anyone seen t-shirts/gear available?

I’d like to get something to show support especially if it were benefiting the players and victims.

Yeah, if there were something where all proceeds went to the families, I’d definitely buy that shirt.

Not typically a barstool guy, but they are giving 100 % of the proceed to families for these shirts.

I hope it gets done. I’ll go in heavy if they do. A combo of $ to the families and maybe an overall NIL to all the players for wearing them or something.

Edit: Is there a fund for each victim’s family setup anywhere?

Edit 2: @seanp10 thank you for that link, it has the official go fund me for each family linked in the Barstool ad.

Says all net proceeds so I suppose absent cost of the merchandise?

It looks like he’s a senior editor at WaPo. He’s also apparently a giant, gaping asshole.

I spoke to my friends at the Post, who include some top editors. Even the ones who say he’s a good journalist and a decent guy agreed that the tweet was Class-A douchebaggery.

FWIW, I know plenty of journalists (including me) who disagree with his statement. But beyond that, whatever you think, just keep your effin’ mouth shut. There’s no reason at all to lash out at student journalists who are working their asses off covering a news story while also grieving the loss of their classmates. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you have to voice it. No one cares what you think.

Just read that article and I’m shaking my head is awe and sadness. Not sure why but that one hit me in a different way.

Just got an email about this. Leaving the link here without comment. But an avenue to provide financial support for those so inclined.
