Barca are paying Unicef, I'd call it a pretty refreshing story of a football club being nice:
Barcelona soccer club to help children with AIDS
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The Barcelona soccer club and the U.N. children's agency, UNICEF, announced a deal on Thursday in which the team will donate $1.9 million (1.5 million euros) a year over the next five years to help poor children with AIDS in developing countries.
The first installment of the club's money will pay for AIDS programs in Swaziland, a tiny, impoverished country in southern Africa where some 40 percent of adults are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
The money will fund efforts to prevent mother-to-child
transmission and infection among adolescents and to support and care for children orphaned by the disease.
As part of the deal, the Spanish and European champion's scarlet and blue jersey will have UNICEF's logo on its front, the first time in the club's 107-year history it has allowed such an arrangement.
