If we're being honest, the issue is, i don't think you're who you say you are. I'd wager money that everyone else reading this exchange was able to discern that but it is what it is. 

I tend to just naturally notice things that raise red flags to me, so every now and then i'll point it out. I'm not wrong very often but as long as you don't break any rules and the admin don't do what they do to find trolls, you'll be just fine.

Great move by Joe to get involved with this. Giving these ladies a chance to earn a living doing what they love is awesome!

He also has the Joe Burrow Hunger Relief fund helping the poor of Appalachian Ohio.

Now he is helping Women Volleyball players where most women sports get overlooked when it comes to playing for pay. 

Am betting he will have more charity endeavors coming down the pike as well.  

Seems to be a pretty darn good role model on how he conducts himself with such a huge spotlight shining on him too. 

I'm so glad we have him as the face of our franchise.

It easily can. Among my favorite sayings is:

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

it's not for you to judge people according to God's word.

You're not wrong, but it's also a tax write-off. Giving chances for athletes to make a living for a short while and possibly allowing them to finish off degrees. Not everybody can juggle 20 hours of practice and two to four matches per week while trying to graduate college in four to five years. This also might allow a few more nurses and doctors to continue playing while finishing medical school. I saw A LOT of this the first few years of MLS as I would often hear announcers say that this will be a player's last game after only a third of a season gone by because he's retiring when he graduates med school in a few days. 

I've recently kind of hoped that women's gymnastics got something like this. A few years ago, I dated an Oregon State U grad that was massively into women's college gymnastics and we watched a lot of young Pac 12 women become insanely good at their craft, with some performing in front of thousands(Utah and UCLA have large crowds). And then, at the height of their powers . . . it's all over and the best that they can hope to achieve through the sport anymore is coaching or the rare announcer gig for the local conference cable network.

We watched Peng Peng Lee's final routine of her career with the National Championship on the line . . . She kills it and then it's all over, nowhere else left to go. Nothing to train for anymore. It would be kind of like Joe Burrow having to retire after his performance in the NCAA Championship game.

Cool on Joe. I love watching girls volleyball, but girls beach handball is the absolute best!

They don't want to wear basketball shorts. They want to wear what they wear because it allows them to move. Just like the when the Olympics tried to tell the beach volleyball women they couldn't wear their bikinis because they were playing in a Muslim country. The women pushed back. Their bodies, their choice, right? If a girl wants to wear basketball shorts, she should be allowed. If she wants to wear the normal volleyball shorts, that shouldn't be a problem either.
