It’s worth noting that the Jets are the first group to step up and donate a ton of money to help those in need in Ukraine.

It’s often in the worst of times that we see the best in people. Putin is hellbent on raining down death and destruction on Ukraine, and people around the world have united to help those in need.
Even though $1 million isn’t an outrageous amount by NFL standards, it’s still a lot of money to help people seriously struggling in Ukraine.
