Matthew Stafford Covering Medical Bills for Rams Photographer Who Fell Off a Stage and Fractured Her Spine

A video of Matthew don't call me Matt Stafford turning around and walking away from a photographer who fell off of a stage during the Rams Super Bowl parade went viral.  It turns out the photographer, Kelly Smiley, suffered a fractured spine in the fall.

A GoFundMe was started for Smiley, who also broke two of her cameras.  On Thursday afternoon the Staffords and the Rams released a statement saying that they would be covering her medical bills.  They will also be paying for new camera equipment.

People who didn't see the video are going to give Stafford a lot of credit for doing this.  Those of us who watched the video of him watching the woman fall off the stage and then turn around and walk away are going to laugh at Stafford and then give him a lot of credit for doing this.
