“Amazing Human Being”: Chris Jericho’s “Class” Act For Damar Hamlin’s Charity Cements His “G.O.A.T” Status Among Fans

NFL star Damar Hamlin suffered an on-field collapse during a game on Monday night. The Buffalo Bills safety Hamin suffered a cardiac arrest in the game against Cincinnati Bengals and was rushed to a hospital nearby. Fans showed their support for the player and began donating heavily to his toy drive charity, which he started in 2020.

As a lot of names came in with their donations, former WWE Champion Chris Jericho was among those who made a generous contribution. In fact, he ended up donating twice to charity. He misspelled his name as he made the first donation and then donated again with his correct name. As this gesture of Jericho made news online, fans praised the AEW star for his actions.

In 2020, Damar Hamlin started a GoFundMe fundraiser to purchase toys for less privileged children. NFL fans came together to support his charity after his tragic on-field collapse. People poured in their support for the NFL star with their words and money as they started to contribute to his fundraiser.

A screenshot shared online on Twitter shows Chris Jericho also made two very significant donations. He got his first donation of $5000 in as Chrus Jericho and then made another contribution of $5000 using his correct name. This generous assistance led to fans applauding the LeChampion on Twitter.

One fan thought this could be Jericho’s way of getting around the $5000 donation limit. Hence, he may have made the error on purpose.

He didn't misspell it, at least not accidentally. He did that so he could get around the $5k max donation and donate $10k total
