      I'm Australian but went to college in America. U. Illinois in the late 80s and I got watch Walter Payton. In fact a few of my frat brothers felt it their civic duty to educate me on the subject. So I got a very personal view on the EFFECT Walter Payton had on people. Consider this:
      Look into any other professional league anywhere in the world and their most prestigious award is for playing that sport. In the NFL the most prestigious award isn't for playing sport its for community service. Many sports have awards for community service, but its only in the NFL that its the MOST prestigious award.
      Every time I think about Walter Payton I'm reminded of that great line from MLK about being judged by character not skin color. Look at what Walter inspired. It doesn't make the NFL perfect or saintly. Some of its issues with player welfare and behavior haven't been good, but its so far in front of most sports there's just no comparison. None of our pro-sports in Australia have an award that's given this level of prestige for community service. I don't know any other sport that does.
      I wish we had people like Andrew Whitworth among our pro-sportsmen and sports women. We probably have some but they don't get the same recognition.
      And maybe that's the difference with the NFL - it recognizes and promotes these people and the work they do.

    Used to live next door to Andrew when I was a kid in our hometown of West Monroe Louisiana. For my 12th birthday he came over to my house to spend some time with me and my friends and it meant the world to all of us. Whenever he was in Cincinnati during the football season he always made sure we put his pool to use when he wasn’t there to use it. Incredible player and person. Congrats Andrew!!!

    Listen, I’m sitting here.. at 1 am.. with a grilled Asiago chicken sandwich from Wendy’s because I got off work and went through my old store’s drive-thru.. I’m sitting here on Facebook and see the short “we made it big whit”.. so I decided to watch the full video and man.. I just can’t even fathom how warm my heart was by a man so humble… a man so giving… and a man who literally will not stop trying to give.. and to see him confronted by Derrick.. who let him know how much it meant to him that his inspiration and opportunity helped drive him to succeed… that’s a moment.. when your humility is genuinely acknowledged with proof of your hard work paying off.

    Andrew is a wonderful man. I was tearing up when he was first speaking but when he mentioned the Lions player, I lost it. He seems like he just genuinely cares. I can’t cheer for the Rams, but I can always cheer for this man and the goodness and caring he inspires. (I guess I won’t hold the fact he went to West Monroe High School against him, I went to a rival school in the same city, lol)

    True legend and SB Champ!! Everybody was talking about his speech that I had to go watch it. The look on Derrick Barnes face was special. To know Big Whit changed his life means so much to the little kid across the world who have dreams but don’t know how to pursue them and to have players come out and give them an ounce of hope is remarkable

  • @alexwhalen5356
    @alexwhalen5356 Před 3 měsíci

    Growing up in central Illinois in the 90s I had the pleasure of being able to watch the then St. Louis Rams during their summer training camps. I wasn’t able to play contact sports growing up because I was born with birth defect called spina bifida that effected my spinal cord. Being able to go watch these guys practice and then be able to get autographs and mingle with the coaches and the players really helped me forget about my every day struggles and forget about anything bad I had going on. Players like Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Issac Bruce and Tory Holt really played a big impact on my younger years. I remember in 2000 the Tennessee Titans came for a scrimmage and then four years later the Chicago Bears came down and held practices and a scrimmage. I never really got star struck until one day while the Bears were in town in 2004 I had the chance to meet Brian Urlacher and I couldn’t believe it. Meeting all these guys and making connections and still having friendships with one of the guys to this day it really helped me realize that the guys you watch on the television on the football field are just normal human beings and I can’t be anymore grateful for them taking the time out of their day to sign autographs and have conversations with me
