New England Patriots Player Eric Alexander Helps to Tackle Declining Participation When Good Sports recently donated over $10,000 worth of new helmets and shoulder pads to Cambridge Pop Warner's football team, Eric Alexander, a Good Sports supporter and linebacker for the New England Patriots, generously donated his time to help hand out the equipment to the young players. Cambridge Pop Warner had long been in search of new equipment to replace their old and unsafe inventory. With this donation, Good Sports provided Cambridge Pop Warner the opportunity to safely equip every player who wishes to participate and learn the game of football.
