for his Harvey charity (and deservedly so), but it's worth pointing out that despite the fact that it's raised $27 million now Watt's contribution to it was just the same amount, $100K, that Odell just donated.
Again, nothing that Watt has done should be diminished, but Beckham at such a young age has done a lot of great charitable things with his fame and finances since being in the NFL that probably should be recognized a lot more than what it does.
He really is a good kid - hopefully more people start to characterize him that way.

Good points. And not to minimize what Watt has done, or claim OBJ poverty...but Watt will make about $15 million this season, OBJ will make $3.3 million on his rookie deal
That's the percent equivalent of someone making $100K/year before taxes donating about $3000. Yes, OBJ makes maybe twice as much with endorsements, but the point remains, $100K is a meaningful amount for him to donate.
But he *only* makes $1.8M this season. That's >5.5% of his salary. To put that in context, that's like someone making $100k/year donating $5500.
Kudos to Odell.
Fair point, but your are also just using his football salary. Odell makes a lot more than that. But it really doesn't matter, it is a chunk of change and he is very generous to offer it.
either a good guy or bad guy or selfish etc. When we don't know people we generally try to typecast them in our minds as good or bad. Odell does some great things, like this donation, he competes so hard and works hard, he plays well (which is obviously important) and he does some dumb things like trotting off the field on his own in Cleveland, looking directly into the partially eclipsed sun, taking dumb penalties. Notice I didn't say the boat trip (the dumbest story of all time). I find this Odell did a great thing so he has to be a great guy or Odell did something selfish he is a bad guy to be tiring. He frustrates me at times, but his talent is far worth it. There may come a time when the bad outweighs the good, and then I will change my opinion.
Beckham is set to make about $10 mil in endorsement deals this year to go along with his $1.7 mil salary.
But really, it doesn't matter if he's making $10 billion - it's still a very significant donation. More than plenty of people who do make more than him that actually have an affiliation to the Houston area.
thats a sizable amount for his current status it's not how much just the fact that he did it means enough .
Some of the comments from the main stream media pisses me off . I refuse to watch any main stream propaganda .
Odell is going to become very rich and he probably makes more on endorsements than he does football .
Kudos to Odell.

Samaritan's Purse is a good charity, I have given through them on a number of occasions.
I couldn't agree more. McAdoo should cut him tomorrow. Why is he donating $ when he should be studying the playbook? Totally unfocused.

I agree with your overall point regarding Beckham's generosity. But his income is not limited to his Giants salary.
