BuffAlone Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Great stuff! And as an Undrafted FA, he doesn't have millions laying around. It was a great gesture on the part of Foster. I hope the kid continues to grow in this league. Seems like a very humble young man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Sneaker prices are ridiculous. My 12 yr old daughter's bball shoes.... $120! WTF! Gotta bring back Zips the big Z for $20. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrtonHearsaWho Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Using good karma to keep his momentum going...love to see this. This has been such a weird season so far. I was ready to tune out for a while just 4-5 weeks ago and now I'm loving the potential of the team & some of the players we have. Count Foster among them.

Gotta bring back Zips the big Z for $20. As the parent of 3 kids whose feet seem to grow weekly, I concur about the pricing, but unfortunately my kids would never wear off brand shoes. Kudos to Foster for allowing one parent to avoid having to say no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Nice read. I would hope though that the young man wrote a personal note to Robert Foster for the generosity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 This is class. There was quite a bit of mockery regarding McD bringing in ‘choir boys’. I see him, with this as an example, bringing in quality young men with actual character AND football skills and I, for one, am all for it. Kudos to Foster for spreading the wealth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What also would be good is if the young man could pay, in some way, what he could forward (volunteering or something) and later let Robert know about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Good dude. That makes me really want this guy to succeed. I like when people do things without the cameras on. He didn’t do it for recognition. He did it because he’s a good guy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a great story I wont even bring up Sky Diver. I mean, the guy does make like $250k per year. That's quite a bit of money. Yeah, it's not mult-millions, but come on, the guy can afford to buy a pair of shoes for a fan without it affecting him one bit. It's not like he's a single mom making $30k or anything. Awesome gesture though, but let's not get crazy on how much of a personal sacrifice he made. He was being super nice, that's about it.

I think Robert lives the "To whom much is given, much is expected" model. I also like the fact that an early 20's young man has enough awareness of what's going on around him and a kind enough heart to pay it forward. In my early 20's, I was too dumb and arrogant to do something like this. I probably had the means but not the mindset. Its a small gesture but one this kid and his family will never forget and they will probably pay it forward some way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not attempting to put down the awesome gesture in any way. Was just saying that he can easily afford it when some were saying it was an awesome gesture especially considering his level of pay.
