Name the profession athletes I respect the most and why.

I respect any and every athlete that not only use their voice to help people in need. But, also the ones that help fund better lives for the misfortunate people. Anyone can you tell you how they feel sad about poor people but there are rich people who actually spend their hard earned money to help make someone else’s life better! By donating to charities or investing in building schools or houses for the poor. Yes, they do get a tax write off for their donations but that still doesn’t change the fact that they donated!
Here’s a few athletes that have done a lot good throughout their careers!
LeBron James!

Absolutely love the heart behind this post 💯👏
It’s easy to admire talent on the field, but it’s the off-field impact that truly defines legacy. Athletes who use their platform *and* their resources to uplift others—whether through schools, shelters, or silent donations—are the real MVPs. Tax write-offs or not, it takes intention and empathy to invest in someone else’s future.
Would love to see the list you’ve got—let’s celebrate those who play for humanity as much as they play for glory 🏆💙
