Stop it!
Toronto, you’re embarrassing yourself with the freebies for Kawhi Leonard. Urging restaurants to pay for his meals. A condo company offering up a multi-million-dollar condo.
People, this is a basketball player. That’s it. He plays a game for a living and, by the way, will make more money than you could ever imagine.
And it’s not just Toronto. We have seen this for LeBron James and other free-agent superstars in sports.
But it’s getting ridiculous that fans and businesses feel it necessary to offer these things to people who don’t need the handout in any way.
How about offering a meal for a homeless man out front than the multi-millionaire inside?
Hey, pay for the mortgage of a single parent having a hard time trying to juggle work, daycare costs, and daily bills.
Kawhi doesn’t want your money or your charity anyway. He passed up tens of millions to leave San Antonio, so your steak or overpriced view of the CN Tower isn’t going to change his mind.
