How Allison And Dennis Allen made good use of Money won from the NFL

Back in December 2022, Dennis Allen was allegedly fined a hefty sum of $100,000 by the NFL. Apparently, it was for faking player injury, as they were playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Talking about it, Dennis added, “It all started when we got the fine letters from the league. We said, ‘We shouldn’t be fined for this, we didn’t do anything wrong.”

It led them into philanthropic work, as Dennis stated, “And then, it got Alisson and I to thinking, ‘Well, we win this appeal, let’s take that money that we would have given the league and let’s do something good with that money.'”
