Dude. Dame is the man... just sent out a flurry of tweets about the Philippines trip and how he will be donating to help the cause and wishes he could have played... and that he'd go back for sure. There's about 6 tweets and It'll take too long for my tired ass to do it, so there's my paraphrase.
I see it now. I guess I missed it because I looked for a more offensive tweet than that. The article is still confusing, mixing the Toys 'R Us event with this. Originally, I followed their link to that Toys article and couldn't figure out what the old Toys trip had to do with this new ESPYS trip (nothing).
If only I could think of how to say that players should take on more controversial causes than special needs kids...that suffering in this world goes way beyond just being made fun of. Perfect!

I was really looking forward to working with and playing vs Gilas and to help them to get ready for the World Cup. But more than anything, I was looking forward to helping MVP Sports, PLDT and EWP raise funds to support those effected by typhoon Yolanda. When EWP approached me about partnering with MVP and PLDT for this event, I knew that they had the best intentions of doing something great for the people of the Philippines! I am definitely coming back next year and again doing clinics and appearances. Hopefully I'm also able to actually play in an sanctioned game against the Gilas teams! To further support MVP's efforts, I am donating to MVP's foundation to help support recovery efforts in the Philippines! Together we can make a difference! -Dame
Really? Dame comes across as very articulate in TV interviews. I wonder if you would have a different opinion of him if he were sponsored by Nike.
