For a fan base that booed the Utah Jazz at the 2010 NBA Draft after their team selected Butler sophomore Gordon Hayward, they’re awfully reluctant about the possibility of the All-Star forward leaving.

In seven days, 528 people raised more than $6,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to rent a billboard with the word “Stayward” stretching across it.

Jazz fans, share this like crazy. Let’s get this billboard up and convince Hayward to stay in Utah.
