DJ Moore’s nonprofit had its 501c3 status revoked by the IRS. Travis Kelce’s nonprofit reported it spent more on management than charity the last three years. But most NFL #WPMOY follow best practices. How efficient are their charitable efforts? ALL 32: www.azcentral.com/story/sports...

Charity for Chicago Bears’ Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award nominee DJ Moore had its 501c3 status revoked in 2022 for never filing federal tax returns. His attorney said it’s been dormant, received “ZERO contributions” & recently created a second nonprofit with a nearly identical name. 🧐

Change comes after I told Troy Vincent the last 2 winners & his charity were noncompliant.

Bri Dillingham hugged Cam Skattebo when #ASU won the Big 12. “He was saying something along the lines of, ‘This is all because of (Kenny),” she told @azcentral.com. “But I wanted to remind him that he was where he was too because of everything that he’s done. “It takes a team.”

What’s the categorically denied allegation of an affair between the Phoenix #Suns CEO & a #WNBA player even doing in a seemingly unrelated workplace discrimination lawsuit? @azcentral.com puts the lurid accusation that gripped social media this week in context.
