So it's hard to judge to judge with these things.
But guys like Backlund clearly do an insane amount of work in the community. It's also good to set an example, because the players are role models.

That's because Bobby was humble. You do charity work for those in need, not for you. If you start advertising all the charity work that you did then you make it about you. It's not about you it's about those receiving the help.
Maybe Johnny is a little bit humble when it comes to charity work too?
