There are many who have money and do not donate it.

Keep your priveleged information to yourself.

I am far from a fan of Pappy but I remember in his early years with the Score he gave a lot of money to some place called Misrachordia (probably butchered the spelling).

He's not just a spokesman, he's a member!

This creeped me out. Are you saying that there is a rating system that determines individual's worth as a "charity asset" that enhances the image of the company he/she works for or represents?

Am I the only one that finds the mere existence of "charity image asset valuation" methodology disturbing?

Well it makes sense.

Does this really surprise anyone that such a breakdown exists for any 'personality' that is trying to get a large deal?

I will guess the Score did not have such an evaluation program in place

yes they are named Pritzker and Reinsdorf. LOL

And they "REALLY" don't want any recognition for it.

Many lessons to be learned from the "THE WALL PLAQUE" episode of Larry David

Pritzker's seem to have there name plastered on everything in this city. They must be dropping big money somewhere. If you think about it, they could probably drop a billion dollars as a family and it would not destroy their standard of living. That's would be nice.

I have no idea about Reinsdorf.

Pritzker alone has forced the Chicago Children's Museum into Grant Park. That family has the mayor by the nuts, and if they squeeze; he jumps on whatever they want. I have zero tolerance of that family (watch, my apartment complex will be bought out by them just to evict me for speaking poorly about them...)

Anybody else actually read the first post in this thread and realize he's not talking about money donated anywhere? The rating was based on TIME donated to charity.

And by charity they don't mean Northy and by time they don't mean Jen Jen with her lips around his cock. Just to clarify

Exactly. It is not about Money.

Pretty sure right now I could say I have done 10 times more charity work than Mike North has done and his job was only 4 hours a day and he did not wake up that much earlier than I do.

While I am sure Mike has donated Money, I am also sure it is not much more than many people I know have donated. None of these people take, nor do they want acknowledgement for it. They NEVER say anything about it. The only time you might even know about their involvement is if they invite you to a fundraiser.

One guy I worked for donated $100,000 a year to a Hospital every year for the 3 years I worked there. I only knew this because we had an inhouse accountant who told me.

As far as the Pritzkers go, when you donate the kind of money they do and persuade others to donate heavily, that is their job.

wherever you tend to spend your time, that's a good indicator of where your heart is...Mike's appears to be lodged in Pappyland with his Goldentee machine...

I'm not a North fan, for any number of reasons, ad nauseum. But any time or money donated to charity is a job well done in my book. I'm surprised a guy like Teelander would stoop to criticizing a guy for not appearing at charitable events. No one has an obligation to give to charity, and if North gave money instead of appearing on behalf of charities, what's wrong with that? I'll bet his money was much appreciated.

PBR, I think you really need to READ the post. None of it is really TEELANDERS opinion, he is stating how things are viewed by others and if you really think about it, it really does make sense.

When you have become famous and are paid for it, writing the check really is no effort at all. While it is a nice gesture and needed by many charities, it is expected by many employers, whether or not it is a written rule. Additionally, Teelander made a great point here that the Station/Etc. would like that person to be in the public eye doing such work.

Do you think D. Lee couldn't write the check? $15 million a year. Yet, he does show ups and is part of the reason he got $15M a year was because he does so much public charity work.

Let me bring another example to the table. The more exclusive private country clubs on the North Shore first look to see how much money you donate before you join a club.

Nobody is saying it was not a nice gesture on Mike's part, but when you make $1.5 M writing the check for $20,$30K as a public person is basically expected at the very minimum.

I disagree. This is Teelander's opinion of Mike North guised in statistics. What was the point of the post if not to dis North, because of a personal dislike for the man. That's how I perceive it anyway. It may not be stated, but I think it's implied. I say that based on other posts of Teelander's that I've read regarding North.

I'm not sure where you got your figures of 20 - 30K from. How do we know how much money North has donated?

I find myself in the uncomfortable position of defending North. I never expected to be in this position. But I think if Teelander has a beef with North, there are many other ways to express it other than slamming his charitable contributions - in time or money.

I'm not sure what a North Shore Country Club membership has to do with any of this. If someone wants to join the club, and they know they have to donate a substantial sum to charity in order to get in,then that's what they'll do. Is that out of the goodness of their hearts, or is that a selfish motive? Does it even matter?

If North donates to charity because he feels fortunate to have made a nice salary, who is the better man?

There are some athletes like D Lee who have a real calling to give back to the community, and I applaud that. These are exceptional people. But if someone decides to donate to charities they believe in instead of appearing for others on behalf of their employers, I don't see that it makes much difference.
