La Furia Roja players support a worldwide movement (for the first time, maybe)!

At the scheduled Friday training practice for the Spanish national team, a handful of the players including Sergio Ramos, Carles Puyol, David Villa, Pepe Reina, Xavi Hernandez, Jesus Navas, Juan Mata, Raul Albíol, and Sergio Busquets decided to change their normal training uniforms for Massivegood t-shirts. Massivegood is a worldwide movement raising money to help treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and improve mothers and their children's lives in the poorest countries around the world. Now, every time someone buys a plane ticket for the World Cup, books a hotel room or rents a car (or all three), a micro-funding of just £2 euros goes to Massivegood. Spain are the first team to show support for a cosmopolitan charity organization, but hopefully will not be the first, Well done, Reds (and we don't mean Liverpool)!
