both guys hard high league pro says shown smaller sustain
We've been like the pioneers for the younger, smaller guys that come into the league now. What we've done over the years is shown that we can play and sustain at a high level.

People don't have jobs, clothes on their back. People have lost everything, but I think guys can afford to donate $5,000. There's a lot of guys that make a lot of money.
