Rory McIlroy

[thebigfella]

Fair play to him for this gesture

Tax deductable and good pr...cynical? what me?

And your contribute what?

Quite a lot actually and a considerably larger proportion of my resources than McIlroy, it not tax deductable though. that said it is laudable for any company/person to donate to good causes but lets not get too carried away with this lovefest for Rory.

Fcuk up would you, your making a twat out of yourself.

This is a generous gesture, whatever way you look at it. Take of Nike etc is a bit off beam, while they might welcome publicity, there are other parts of the world and other ways of spending his time that are of more interest to them.

Great gesture from McIlroy, does a lot more for charity than any of us ever will.

Out of interest nrico, could you explain what you mean by that statement? Are you referring specifically about his buying and profile power? Charities need benefactors yes, but I think youre ignoring the reality that charities would not exist in the first place without volunteers committing many many hours of their own time free of charge. They are the heros here. Its easy to hand over a few sheckles and instantly feel gratified. Harder to put the shoulder to the wheel for years and years on end.

Praising McIlroy for his donation doesn't denigrate in anyway the commitment of the volunteers, or anyone else for that matter.
Why the need to bring them into it? Why is it so hard to say "fair play to him" and leave it at that?

Please take your own advice, as I pointed out before this is a discussion board and I am entitled to a view that differs from yours. I think it is a valid point of view, you obviously differ. There is no need to be rude or to use abusive language.

a) Why the need to bring them into it? b)Why is it so hard to say "fair play to him" and leave it at that?

b) I have done in a previous post

To quote you, "Quite a lot actually and a considerably larger proportion of my resources than McIlroy". Would you ever cop on

And on what basis do you make that judgement?
