As my dad said (who met Sue Bird when she played for UConn, who was a beautiful player), Meghan is overrated. Sue Bird got brainwashed by liberalism...
Thank you for the glory hint to see the video.
That’s just beautiful love for a team mate. They even had his #13 jersey shirt with them. What a wonderful bunch of men to care for his family.
Where’s the kleenex? screen is blurry...
