"Heeding the President's call"

Good for them.

Yankees, NFL Each Give $1M for Katrina---

NEW YORK - The New York Yankees and the NFL are each donating $1 million to the American Red Cross to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said the franchise was "heeding the President's call to help the people devastated by this hurricane in the affected areas.

"This is one of America's greatest natural disasters and tragedies and it is the responsibility of the American public to step up and help those in need."

Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said the NFL is also working on other ways to aid the relief effort.

Will we see Hollywood celebrities chip in? They certainly make enough money, simply by pretending to be other people.
