    Maybe she’s trying to show her son what it’s like to raise your own funds instead of a wealthy relative doing it? Then again, this is gofundme. Not exactly hard work. I remember mowing lawns and selling chocolate bars to raise funds for my activities.

            Why would Clay Travis do that? (I have no idea who that is.) Anyway, they are obviously not going to wear the hats he wants so he effectively did what the lady wanted. 🤷

              He's a sports/social commentator that is worth quite a bit both as a social media influencer. The $794 he spent has probably already been paid back to him...

                  Idiots gotta idiot.

                  THere's no reason for them to attack the son.

                  But, there's no reason that the Milano family couldn't cough up .066% of their net worth to fund the trip. Making it public just makes you look bad. A better solution would have been to just pay for it, and then, afterward say that you did.

                      It pays to be careful with .066% of one’s net worth. A penny saved is a penny earned.

                      Education is extremely important.

                        That gesture might have been resented by the parents of other team members, although I doubt her son is on a down at the heels team. Or she might have been drunk. The possibilities are endless.

                          How about the kids go fundraise or earn the money. That's my main gripe. Teaching the kids we live in a GoFundMe world.

                            I don't understand the problem. She's asking for donations. If people don't want to donate, nobody's forcing them to do so. At least she's involved with her kids and what they're doing. There's plenty of rich people who aren't.

                            I was only joking

                              Not a “problem” but (to me at least) normally gofundme campaigns asking for donations are for charitable reasons, or to support someone who was in an accident, or recently lost a loved one. So when a celebrity worth millions asks for donations so her son can go to Cooperstown, it’s a bit “cringe” as the kids would say. Aside from my aforementioned reasons, I dont have a problem with it. Bigger issues in the world to spend time on.

                                          Alyssa Milano got slammed by some followers on Instagram after revealing she attended Super Bowl 2024 with her son, Milo, on Sunday, February 11, two weeks after asking fans for $10,000 ​in donations towards his baseball team’s upcoming trip to New York.

                                          LOL

                                          What did she pay for tickets/tranportion/lodging…
