NFL Hires Chief Kindness Officer with Checkered Past

Dhar Mann, the new Chief Kindness Officer tapped by the NFL for the upcoming Super Bowl LX, has come under scrutiny due to his past fraud convictions.

Mann, whose large following on various social media platforms has earned him billions of views, was tapped as the NFL’s Chief Kindness Officer and his appointment instantly raised a few eyebrows due to his past felony fraud charges, per the New York Post:

In 2011, Mann pled “no contest” to five felony counts of defrauding the city of Oakland, which accused him of fraudulently pocketing more than $44,000 he’d received from city redevelopment grants, according to The New York Times.

Prosecutors reportedly reduced the charges from 13 to five felony counts. He was fined $37,500 and faced no jail time.
