LA is hard to top...
 

Lance Armstrong just pledged $250,000 to the relief fund for the people in Haiti...Makes me hate the LA haters even more...Just saw a little girl on TV crying, with a split skull and two broken legs with no medical attention..made me sick. At least there are people like Lance Armstrong who can, and DO make a difference!:thumb:

And what does a wealthy, successful businessman donating to a worthy cause have to do with Road Cycling?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great if LA donates; he obviously has a great track record through LiveStrong. But I think it's just as great if Johnny Tinglebaum down at the local Blockbuster donates $20.

217.

good stuff Lance and dude at Blockbuster for donating something to help out - thanks for the thread hadn't heard that.

I thought this thread was going to be some dummy who was all patriotic about Los Angeles.
(Close, but no cigar.)

"But I think it's just as great if Johnny Tinglebaum down at the local Blockbuster donates $20."

Maybe. But Johnny doesn't ride a bike.

how much did you pledge?

Oh boy here we go. Who is the business man whom you make reference to? If your talking about Lance Armstrong, and don't know what he has to do with cycling...your post is about as worthless as BOTTO's 217. But from BUTTO it's expected, as he and PCAD are in a race for the most worthless posts ever in an open forum.

how much did you pledge?

That's why we call you BUTTO.... Think before inserting foot in mouth RUSH JR.

Pledging and actually PAYING are very different things.

Actually giving a sh*t is even another.

Many media wh*res are crawling all over themselves to "pledge".

Let me know when one of them actually cares when no one is watching.

Botto raises a valid question.


Don't get me wrong, I think he's an a-hole. He does, however, raise a valid question.

Good on Lance and anyone else who can pledge money to the effort. Right now, we can barely afford gas for the wife's car and I just signed up for classes this semester. Excuses, excuses.

so you haven't given anything.

You've got my vote. And in this thread, you shine all the brighter, like a gem in a pig-manure pit.

Oink.

UNICEF'S Haiti Earthquake Relief Donation Link No matter the amount, it'll help.

incorrect.

Pcad has a sense of humor.

You all really do not get it do you. LA being bublic about the donation will help get others off their wallets and donating also.

I have not seen any other statements of concern from other cyclist.

Lance could have pledged that money without making it public knowledge.

Just sayin'.

Well, all the other celebs are donating, so you gotta keep up.

Lance deification aside, Haiti can't catch a break. Even when they aren't getting hammered by natural disasters they make their own.

Well, according to that d-bag Pat Robertson, it's their own fault.

Did I mention that he's a d-bag?

Cause that's what he is. A d-bag.

I agree with you guys. What a jerk. How dare he donate that money and let anyone know about it. The nerve of some people.

look harder.

When there's a fire in the theater, you don't keep your mouth shut and walk out.

It's awareness, not publicity.

So what you are saying is you support someone else giving money and then get pissed when someone points it out (if you did donate and just don't wanna talk about it to botto, then ignore previous statement). Yes botto can be an ass but he has a point. And for the record, I like LA, not my favorite cyclist but he is a good guy from what I can tell.
