This Sunday, two teams of Rick Ross-sized dudes will put on spandex hot pants and beat the crap out of each other in front of bajillions of fans and viewers in a sacred American tradition called the Super Bowl. For most of us this means stuffing our faces with some pizza and buffalo wings on the couch, but don’t get it twisted -- outside your living room, there’s an insane amount of dough being blown on this pigskin pageantry. So that got us thinking over here at the Act locker room -- yo, what if all that crazy cash were used to make a difference through sports and staying active? So listen up, Manning and Brady -- here’s our give-back game plan:
+ $429.89 for a full-size sedan rental from Hertz over Super Bowl weekend could rent Bobcat machinery for 2 days to level out a local playing field at an Indianapolis park (they're hosting the big game).
+ $499 for tailgating all day Sunday across the street from Lucas Oil Stadium through ParkWhiz.com could buy 3 paint markers to fix up your community baseball diamond.
+$898.99 for a night at the budget Best Inn in Indianapolis through Travelocity.com could provide approximately 3 snowboards for Stoked, an org that empowers at-risk youth through action sports.
+ $2,149 for the cheapest seats at Super Bowl XLVI on Stubhub.com could buy 23 football helmets for kids in the Snoop Youth Football League, which recently received a boost when the Doggfather won over $72,000 during Celebrity Week on The Price is Right.
+$445,000 for a full luxury suite could build 286 soccer fields in Africa through FUNDaFIELD -- a nonprofit started by Nick HALO winner Kyle Weiss that enriches the lives of children in developing nations through sports.
+ $3.5 million for a 30-second commercial spot during the Super Bowl could support 84 student-athletes on the University of Alabama football team, a top-ranked NCAA Div-I team.
+ $7.2 million in brand value that Bridgestone is receiving as title sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime show with Madonna, M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj could build 24 state-of-the-art skate plazas through the Rob Dyrdek Foundation.
Now that’s what we call a Hail Mary! We love us some touchdown dances, but using these football funds to help out future MVPs is pretty rad, riiiiight?
