Professional football player J.J. Watt is in the news after the terrible school shooting that took place in his home state of Texas. The community is stunned with what he just did. Nobody expected this to happen.
Let’s be honest. The NFL hasn’t had the best reputation. Recent years have seen shocking behavior from the men many look up to. These highly paid and celebrated athletes are hardly role models. In fact, what they do on and off the field sets a bad example for many Americans.
The entire league suffered, thanks to the National Anthem protests. Americans were outraged to see some of the most pampered and successful people in this country kneel during our anthem.
It gave the NFL, especially those teams that allowed it, a tremendous black eye. Even the commissioner did not do anything about the protests. As a result, it has led to a drop in viewership and stadium attendance. The future looks very bleak unless the NFL can turn this around.
Because of this, it’s rare that we ever see anything positive coming from football players. Occasionally, one will visit a hospital, but it’s few and far between. But the reality is, there are numerous players who go the extra mile to help their communities. They give back in many ways, sometimes without anyone noticing.
Houston Texan J.J. Watt is in the news. After the terrible events at Santa Fe High School, he’s decided to step up and make a difference. Instead of protesting or attacking our country — like so many other players — he’s opening up his wallet with an amazing gesture.
Pro football star J.J. Watt is once again aiding the Houston area in a time of tragedy, as the community deals with Friday’s horrific school shooting that left at least 10 dead and 10 more injured in Santa Fe, Texas.
The Houston Texans defensive end – who raised millions of dollars for relief efforts following Hurricane Harvey last year – reportedly said he will pay for the funerals of those who were killed Friday morning at Santa Fe High School when 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis allegedly opened fire on his classmates, FOX 26 reported.
School officials have been notified of Watt’s intention.

People will be talking about this shooting for days on end. But as the “experts” blather on with their opinions, real lives have been forever altered. Parents, siblings, and friends have lost someone. They are going through the worst time of their lives. Watts knows this and is doing his part.
This isn’t the first time Watts has given back to the community. Citizens were stunned at how this athlete used his star power to raise millions after the Hurricane Harvey. That helped rebuild communities within Houston, Texas. Now, his generous gesture — if accepted — will provide much-needed relief to families already suffering too much.
Think about what they’re going through. If you’ve lost a loved one, you know how painful this time is. On top of that, the cost of a funeral is astronomical. Watt’s contribution will be a huge relief to these families. It will help them mourn their loss without the added burden of paying for the funeral.
Acts like this need to be celebrated. Our media spent countless hours and words worshiping losers like Colin Kaepernick — whose only achievement was insulting our flag. But men like J.J. Watt deserve to be recognized. His generous contribution should set an example for the rest of us, especially for the rest of the NFL. Hopefully, more players will follow his lead and become selfless and kindhearted.
