Blog #2- Eli Manning won't take money

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Eli-Manning-won-t-take-broke-hospital-s-money?urn=nfl,223215

Summary:
Eli Manning, who has consanguinuity(pg.72) with more well known quarterback Peyton Manning, rejected 500,000 dollars that St. Vincent's hospital in New York owes him. The Hospital owes him money because Eli Manning has done marketing for them, but he knows that the hospital is having financial problems. He is letting them keep the money while he will continue to do fund-raising at his own volition(pg.69). This is the right thing for him to do because he is an NFL quarterback and he already gets paid millions of dollars per year and it would be wrong for a person with that much money to accept 500,000 dollars from a bankrupt hospital that is already cutting salaries and jobs. He has won kudos (pg.61) for not accepting the money, but people are criticizing him because he has already accepted 500,000 dollars from them before and people think that this has tarnished his image.

Detail:
-St. Vincent's hospital in New York owes Eli Manning 500,000 dollars
