Article says he's going to jail for several months. 20k could easily provide for his kids/sig other for groceries/gas/clothing for quite awhile if budgeted. I get maybe gambling for more, but to give it back for free at a time when you have obviously failed at your duties as a father/provider is inexcusable IMO.

If the person cared that much about it, I would give him an opportunity to match it or at least come somewhat close to best offer. It's just too much money for your average guy to leave on the table out of the goodness of his heart. Not to mention that Jeter or maybe even the team should be able to match whatever is best offer out there pretty easily.
This would be my strategy. You can't expect the average fan with a mortgage/kids/whatever to hand something of value away.
Your first duty is to your family, not some multimillion dollar athlete.

Yup. A real idiot. Probably an indicator of why he's in jail in the first place
