Can I ask an honest question here?Of all the cringy social media trends, I think fake charity probably irks me the most. Giving Nico the benefit of the doubt that he didn't know it was a photo op, it's petty as hell to make that man pay for two water bottles by plastering his picture on your Twitter.
If the post "wasn't about Nico", as it says, then there was no reason to take a picture and put it out there. Not always practical, but charity should be anonymous when possible. If you plaster it on the internet it isn't charity, it's a transaction.
From what I have seen of Nico, he is a high character guy. I have not seen any issues arise in home, solid and supportive family, and he has a history of being involved with charity (don’t ask for a link, likely won’t be able to find it, but seems that I remember something about this). He also has not, from what I have seen, historically been “all about me” and done publicity stunts for attention.
With future behavior being best predicted by past behavior, what leads you to believe this is a publicity stunt staged for Twitter vs actual compassion captured by his coach or sent to him from someone in the community?
Again—not attacking, just curious.
