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.

Bill from NYC Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 This makes me proud to be a Bills Fan and a Crimson Tide Fan. I hope that he tears the NFL apart! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s speaks volumes to his class and commitment to community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes more than 95% of the households in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The NFL has so many good stories that go untold or undertold and the bad stories get way to much pub. Makes me respect the guy all the more!
