Professional athletes need ethics too
Congratulations are in order for the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Congratulations for making it to one of the biggest sporting events in the country. But not everyone going deserves that distinction, least of all a Vince Lombardi trophy and a diamond-encrusted ring. While Ben Roethlisberger may already have two rings from previous wins, he is the antithesis of what a professional athlete should be.

Not everyone counts
The process for counting the number of homeless is loose with the factuality of the numbers - to the point of aiming for inaccuracy. Rather than having the volunteers interact with those they suspect are homeless, the HSA instructs them to observe but not approach, leaving volunteers to assess whether someone is homeless based solely on perspective.

Jerry Brown's would create, it is nothing more than lip service.
