Charitable giving in the NFL has become as important as touchdown passes. Players donate millions every year to causes they believe in. But not every donation gets the same reaction from fans.

It’s not an isolated gesture as Love’s foundation has given over $100,000 to community efforts this year. Since stepping into Aaron Rodgers’ shoes, the Packers star has made community service a top priority.
In March 2025, the foundation proudly donated over 1,300 pairs of high-quality cleats to enthusiastic youth sports teams throughout Wisconsin and in his beloved hometown of Bakersfield, CA.
This generous initiative was part of his inspiring “10ve for Cleats” campaign, where each team received a brand-new pair of cleats for every touchdown Love scored during the exhilarating 2024 season.
But this particular donation hit different with some fans. When the news dropped, social media became a battlefield faster than Love can throw a fade route.
NFL Fans Go Off on Jordan Love’s Charitable Choice
Many fans found it hard to understand why the donation was made. They began criticizing Love and labeling him one of them.
One fanwrote, “I just lost all respect for Jordan Love.”
Anotheradded, “Why? What is there to donate to? They’re gay yippie! Makes no sense. Donate to kids with illness or something actually worth donating to.”
A thirdclaimed, “I knew I didn’t like him since day one.” The criticism kept rolling in from that corner of the fanbase.
A fourthexpressed, “Oh I didn’t know he was into women with cocks. Well, now I do. What ta homo.”
The Packers quarterback hasn’t responded to the backlash. He’s letting his foundation’s work speak for itself. And with training camp approaching, Love has bigger fish to fry than social media critics.
The talk isn’t dying down anytime soon. But Love’s already moved on to his next charitable project. That’s how you handle controversy in 2025. Do your work. Stay quiet. Let the results speak.
