Yesterday
HERE I mused sexily re: whether or not Christian Lopez knew that by "doing the right thing" he'd still get a buncha $crillah, and
it looks like he's starting to:
Miller High Life issued a statement Wednesday saying that the company would cover Lopez's tax bill.
"Miller High Life believes you should be rewarded for doing the right thing, not penalized," Miller High Life brand manager Brendan Noonan said in a statement. "We want to recognize Christian Lopez, and in turn everyone like him, for doing the common sense thing and help him continue to live the High Life."
The 2009 Yankees World Series ring came courtesy of Mitchell Modell, CEO of Modell's Sporting Goods, who got the ring because Modell's sponsors the Yankees. Both Modell and Brandon Steiner, CEO of Steiner Sports, guaranteed Lopez at least $25,000 each toward his outstanding student loans of $150,000.
Sometimes, it literally pays to do the right thing. Tho it'd be nice if the Yankees/Jeter themselves led on this front.
