But I fear and think you give players too much credit for this, they barely get within arms length of these activities, they are mostly PR exercises setup by the players management group.
For example, I know a very high level AFL player who has appeared in print regularly touted for his Children's Hospital Charity work, but behind the scenes he barely turns up for 1 out of 10 commitments. His club just keeps making excuses for him, the media don't care so they never expose the contradiction.
