Is Making the Homeless Arm Wrestle for Cash Classy or Trashy?

You can give the homeless money or you can make them work for it.

In this video, they have to earn it.

Watch as a pair of homeless men square off in an arm wrestling battle, with the winner getting $100. When the winner is crowned, you may be surprised by what he does, proving once again there's more to the homeless than what we think we know.

Was this a nice gesture by the guys who put on the contest or was it demeaning to the homeless men who participated (especially that line about the loser going "home empty-handed")?
