Athletes do stuff like this all time, but it is always a good story. Here are the details via Kotaku.
Washington running backs Keith Marshall and Rob Kelley were in the Gamestop store at the Dulles 28 Centre in Virginia on Tuesday. When they saw a kid wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey then asking how much Xbox One consoles were, the pair got together and bought one for him.
The duo were in the store at the same time as 10 year-old Jaden Watts. They first noticed him when they “complimented him on his Colin Kaepernick 49ers jersey”, the Washington Post reports, before approaching the boy’s grandmother to ask if it was OK if they bought him the console and a game.
More important than all that is the kid explaining why he was wearing a Kaepernick jersey.
Asked by the Post why he was wearing a Kaepernick jersey when he was a self-professed Cowboys fan, Jaden says “I liked how he wasn’t afraid to show what he thought. He risked getting fired, which was a big thing. I wouldn’t even do that, but he did, and I really like him for standing out. I don’t know if people agree with it, but he just doesn’t care what people say and that’s inspired me and probably inspired other people.”
The kid is 10 and smarter than your President.
