Pat McAfee Learns a Valuable Lesson After Donating $5,000 to Kelly Smiley’s GoFundMe: ‘You Can’t Just Assume Folks Who Are Representing/Working on the World’s Biggest Stage Have Passed Any Moral Background Checks…….’

During the Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl parade on Wednesday, NFL photographer Kelly Smiley fell and injured her spine. As a result, a GoFundMe was set up to assist in her recovery, and radio host Pat McAfee made a contribution. However, after making the donation, McAfee appears to have taken a lesson to heart.

Kelly Smiley was trying to photograph Matthey Stafford and his wife when she stumbled backward and fell off the stage. As a result of this incident, Smiley fractured her spine and both of her cameras were damaged. Consequently, Matthew Stafford and his wife issued a statement the following day. As per the statement, they would cover all her hospital bills, as well as replace her cameras.

On Thursday, Smiley posted an update on her health on social media. According to Fox News, she wrote, “That’s me. Waiting at the ER for X-ray results. Both my cameras broke but I’m ok.” A few hours later, she provided another update, stating, “Unfortunately I fractured my spine.”

Nevertheless, following the incident, the photographer is under the scanner as social media dig through her older tweets. Perhaps this was the reason why she had to delete (we can’t tell permanently or temporarily) her Twitter account.

Pat McAfee donates to GoFundMe

In addition to Stafford‘s help, Smiley’s GoFundMe raised more than $48,000, to which Pat McAfee contributed $5,000. Smiley’s Twitter account revealed awful things that McAfee learned, after donating.

Therefore, McAfee tweeted, “I donated to a lady’s GoFundMe who broke her spine during the Super Bowl parade. I assumed she worked 4 somebody important 2 be credentialed.” Additionally, he mentioned that he disagrees with every horrible thing that was exposed from her Twitter account.

McAfee learns a lesson

Besides that, in a follow-up tweet, he wrote, “Think I can ask for a refund for a GoFundMe…… I’ve learned from this situation though.” Furthermore, McAfee pointed out that even people who work on the biggest stage cannot be assumed to have passed the moral background checks.

Although Smiley’s GoFundMe generated more than 48-grand, it probably wouldn’t have generated a cent after her Twitter history was exposed. Even though it was a learning experience for McAfee and various other donors, it only exemplifies how society comes together for a person in need.
