Athletesgive.com Creates Global Portal of Athlete Community Service Events

"Recently, the news has been filled with athlete misconduct that represents such a tiny sample size of athlete behavior," said www.athletesgive.com founder and former player representative Jeff Deutsch of Overtime Consulting Inc. "An overwhelming majority of players are incident-free, proud ambassadors of their leagues, teams and families and influential in their communities in positive and meaningful ways. We can't unjustly paint athletes with the same broad brush. The launching of the site is needed to serve as an important reminder of this critical point and the great work being performed on a daily basis."
