Cancer Funds Expressed Their Readiness To Accept The Donation Of Football Player Shirokov, Who Beat The Referee

Roman Shirokov promised to transfer the proceeds from the sale to philanthropists, said his lawyer Vadim Lyalin. The founder of the Life charitable foundation Anastasia Kolesnikova told the Moscow speaking radio station that the origin of money is not important for volunteers. Those in need are interested in receiving any help, the expert noted. “The beating is definitely a bad story, but money is always needed. If a person just wants to make a donation, then why not? I don't see any particular problem in this. We never know the origin of the funds [donated to funds - approx. GM] is difficult to condemn. The act of [Shirokova - approx. GM] is certainly not good, but if a person wants to make a big gesture, it seems to me that the beneficiaries will get only good from this. Maybe the negative in the Universe will come to naught. " Kolesnikova suggested that the footballer would use his media resources to sell sports shoes, for example, post an appeal on social networks. “If we have stories about auctions, it’s usually as part of a big event, a charity evening or a fair. Most often we ask a famous person for an item for auction, and then the transfer is made to the fund's account, and during the event people put money into a special box. Maybe he [Shirokov - approx. GM] will want to do this on his Instagram page. There are also such methods. He can do it in his own way, and then transfer to the fund. " Earlier, Roman Shirokov was sentenced to 100 hours of compulsory labor. On August 10, during an amateur match, he beat referee Nikita Danchenkov after he showed him a red card. Later, the footballer apologized on Instagram for the incident, saying that the incident could not be a reason for "waving his arms."
