Jordan Poyer Cancels Charity Event At Donald Trump Course Due To Political Differences

Bills security Jordan Poyer has postponed his charity golf event that was supposed to take place in July, but he wants his supporters to know that it wasn’t entirely his decision.

Due to the tournament’s venue—the Blue Monster course at the Donald Trump-owned Trump National Doral Miami—a number of sponsors and teams withdrew.

On Saturday, the Bills safety shared the information on Instagram. The event was scheduled to happen at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in South Florida the following month.

Announced Poyer: “I regret to inform you that my annual Golf Charity Event in South Florida, originally scheduled for July 10th at the Blue Monster at Trump National in Doral, has been rescheduled for next year. Unfortunately, the location of the event led to a few sponsors and golfers withdrawing at the last minute due to external pressures. While it’s disappointing, I respect their decision. Nevertheless, we will persevere.

“Next offseason, we will host this event with unwavering dedication, ensuring that it remains free from any external distractions. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of  you. Here are my sincere thoughts.”

People demanded that Buffalo hospital ECMC cancel the event in letters, according to Poyer. Poyer claimed that ECMC was one of the tournament’s major sponsors, but the hospital insists that it was just intended to be a recipient of the proceeds. In a statement, ECMC acknowledged that it was “fortunate to be a beneficiary of Jordan Poyer’s golf tournament” but did not explicitly admit to withdrawing.

The Pro Bowl safety expressed gratitude to ECMC and said he didn’t hold it responsible, but he also appeared to criticize those who put pressure on the corporation to withdraw.

“It seems like our egos kind of get in the way of being a good human being,” Poyer said, adding that ego is “a huge thing that’s wrong in America.”

While Poyer admitted he  might not agree politically with everything Trump believes, he said, “I still went and put my ego aside to help those that needed help.”
