(Sports Spectrum) This year’s Super Bowl won’t have many fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but players like Kansas City Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman are still hoping for a full stadium — one that represents a larger mission.
Sherman and others in the professional sports world are partnering with Compassion International’s “Fill the Stadium” initiative to fund nearly 70,000 children whose sponsorships have been impacted or delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was one of those things where you don’t realize there’s that many — 70,000 kids from when this pandemic started until about now that would’ve gotten sponsored and taken care of and been able to have food, and have water, crucial stuff that they need, especially during a pandemic,” Sherman said Monday on the Sports Spectrum Podcast.
