Favre’s Attorney Speaks
Bud Holmes, Favre’s attorney, told ESPN:
He has been very generous to Southern Miss since he played ball there. Those particular things [the donations in question] I don’t know, but I know he has always given back, something most athletes don’t do.
It is unclear whether this is a legal issue, but it may pose a problem ethically.
Laurie Styron, executive director of watchdog group Charity Watch spoke to ESPN, and stated there’s “an ethical obligation to spend funds the way donors intended.”
If the charity told donors it was raising money for breast cancer but then spends the resulting donations on an athletic facility, the people running the organization are not fulfilling their obligations to spend the nonprofit’s donations the way its donors intended, she said.
She continued to say that charities are not “personal piggy banks” and celebrities shouldn’t get a free pass.
Authorities have not charged Favre with committing a crime.
