Alyssa Milano got slammed for going to Super Bowl LVIII after
previously setting up a GoFundMe and asking people to donate to fund
her son’s baseball team trip to Cooperstown.

The 51-year-old actress and activist shared a picture on her Instagram
on Sunday showing her and her son sitting in the stands in Las Vegas at
Allegiant Stadium — where the Kansas City Chiefs scored a 25-22 victory
in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers.

“My buddy. #mothersonlove #mothersonbond #superbowl,” Milano captioned
her post.

Reading through the comments, many of those who replied to her post
noted that tickets to the Super Bowl were not cheap, with tickets
starting at $2,000 a seat, Page Six noted.

OutKick’s Clay Travis wrote, “My good friend [Alyssa Milano] could
afford Super Bowl tickets which cost an average of $10k each, but
needed (much poorer) people on Twitter to pay for her son’s team’s
Cooperstown, NY little league trip. Tony Danza would never.”

Another added, “So you have money to take your kid to the Super Bowl
but want other people to donate to your son’s baseball team?”

While a third person wrote, “Let’s be real for a second. How can a
celebrity start a gofundme for her son and say that she couldn’t afford
it but then pull up to the super bowl? Please explain? I’m sure I’m not
the only one that would love to hear YOUR answer, let alone hers?”

Last month, the “Charmed” star faced criticism after she created the
crowd-funding page under her married name and shared it with her
millions of followers on X, which caused the post to go viral, as
previously reported.

Many people called the actress’ fundraiser “gross” and “next level tone
deaf.”

“My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip.
Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the
team and make a donation here,” Milano wrote on X with a link to the
GoFundMe page.

Milano later responded to the criticism and said,”Every parent raises
money for their child’s sports teams and many of them do so through
GoFundMe. I am no different.”

“As much as I’d love to pay for the entire team and their families for
travel, transportation, hotel, food and beverage, uniforms, trading
pins and all the things teams do for this kind of trip — I can not
afford to do so,” she added. “Maybe someday.”

Just a few minutes ago I got junk mail from GoFundMe trying to get me to
donate apparently at random to their various causes. I clicked unsubscribe
from the mailing list. I’m hoping they ask me why…

The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it is still on my list.

Well, one, what makes you think they will actually unsubscribe you? And
two, what makes you think a human will ever see your request? :P

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
dirty old man.

I wouldn’t trust the unsubscribe button on any of the hundreds of obvious
scam emails I get every week but I hope go fund me is above that.

Seriously? An entire website devoted to nothing but strangers begging
you for money is going "to be above that"?

The morons were also whining because she used her married name, yet if
she had used her professional maiden name they'd still be whining about
her because she would be trying to cash-in on her fame. :-\

Yes, she probably could afford to pay for the whole team all by herself
without a funding page, but then some of the other parents would be
complaining too because they can't afford to help their kids.

The whole thing is simply ridiculous stupidity by the usual moronic
internet trolls who have nothing useful to do.

And most of them have unrelated political axes to grind against her,
Milano was heavily involved in the #MeToo movement.

Nice strawman, dude.

No one was "whining" about anything, just pointing out that she made
things worse by purposefully trying to hide that it was she who was
begging strangers to pay for her son's baseball team. The dumb cunt
could at least be honest about wanting others to pay for it.
