LUNCH WITH A FOOTBALL PLAYER

While the rest of the country is talking about Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the National Anthem before football games, Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph is quietly trying to make this country a better place with one simple act. Recently Rudolph was visiting a local school in Tallahassee, Fl when he saw Bo Paske sitting by himself in the cafeteria. Travis Rudolph didn’t know that Bo is Autistic and usually ends up sitting by himself during lunchtime at his school. When Bo’s mom found out about the kind gesture her social media post went viral. Rudolph’s actions are a great example of how being inclusive is much better than being divisive. Something Colin Kaepernick should learn. Watch this amazing story here.
