Steve Nash “Football for Good” Campaign

by Eugene Kan, June 4, 2009

Multi-talented and former NBA MVP Steve Nash has launched his latest goodwill campaign “Football for Good”. Through a viral video, he nutmegs some of the world’s greatest players including Cole, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Henry, Kaka and Del Piero to help promote his cause. The Football for Good campaign is a partnership between the Steve Nash Foundation and Athletes for Africa to help develop good, ethical world-class youth football academies around Africa as well as “champion of human rights and child protection, and a committed global advocate for African players, families and their communities.” A $5 USD donation earns you a chance to fly to New York and participate in the “Chinatown Showdown” which features world-class football players and basketball players alike in a friendly game. All the information can be seen at Football-For-Good.com.

    AFC:

    Although I get your point, very many people in Europe follow the NBA. Hence, doing such a campaign would and can draw quite a large audience.

    afc – We don’t. But I don’t want to bash the video as it’s for a good cause.
    E-Man – I guess you need to know football to know what a nutmeg is, although it’s pretty well known everywhere in the world but North America.

    What a massively irrelavent campaign. Why would anyone in Europe give a fuck about Steve Nash?
