This is like the custom of a Major Leaguer who is on a Minor League rehab to buy the post game spread. -

Re: O/T: When Being A 1st Round Draft Pick Isn't All It Was Cracked Up To Be
Being a first-round draft pick isn't all it's cracked up to be?!?! Seriously? Last time I looked fourteen grand could pay for blood transfusions, surgeries for a sick kid, etc. I wish football teams were that good at raising money for charity as they are eating $14,000 worth of food. What losers.Comment

It's what players do with their own salaries that is indicative of what kind of people they are. $14,000 for a team dinner? I would think you are joking if I didn't see the sad proof on the link to this thread.Les Zukor

So I just did some math. I didn't know you could spend $209 per person at TGIF (prior to tax and service charge LOL)Comment

english has a $13.4mm contract. he spent 0.1% of it on a meal for his friends. leslie, you've spent at least $4000 on game used frivolities. $4000 is 0.1% of $4mm. if you're not making $4mm/yr, then you spent more as a portion of your income than english spent of his on that meal. last time i looked $4k would've bought a lot of meals for a lot of starving kids. rather than help those kids out, looks like you decided to treat yourself to some baubles instead. for shame.
Scrooge: And what can I do for you two gentlemen?
Collector for the Poor #1: Sir, we are collecting funds for the indigent and destitute.
Scrooge: For the what?
Collector for the Poor #2: We're collecting for the poor.
Scrooge: Oh. Aha. Well, you realize if you give money to the poor, they won't be poor anymore, will they?
Collector for the Poor #2: Well, I...
Scrooge: And if they're not poor anymore then you won't have to raise money for them anymore.
Collector for the Poor #1: Well, I suppose...
Scrooge: And if you don't have to raise money for them anymore, then you'd be out of a job. Oh please, Gentlemen, don't ask me to put you out of a job. Not on Christmas eve.

Hell, if I had the cash, I would do it too. Maybe even take out some of you forum members, lol.
I don't see the problem with it. We had a 'Hitter Of The Week' that was nominated by the local newspaper and whoever got that was in charge of the spread for the weekly Thursday night bonfires for the team.
Not much different from that, and we were in high school. We never had the cash to spend. Tradition is an exception IMO.Comment

Also, dropping 14 grand at a restaurant keeps that restaurant open for a while more, which means waiters, hostesses, and busboys will be able to pay this month's rent and buy groceries, which keeps the grocer open, which keeps the stockboys able to pay their bills, etc. etc. It's not like the money drops down a hole and disappears.

Agree it comes across as rather pathetic, but also agree that there are a lot worse causes than giving money to a local business. Some of the spending spree will go to busboys and waiters.Comment
