TEMPE, Ariz. -- Delilah Cassidy's tweet thread was building to a climactic ending.
At 1:37 p.m. on May 30, Cassidy, a law student at Arizona State University, began tweeting about her experience at an airport gate en route to Phoenix from a European trip. By now, the story is internet lore.
But that afternoon, she was unveiling it to the digital world tweet by tweet. She was about to board an American Airlines flight when the gate agent told her she needed to pay $50 to bring her carry-on with her. If she didn't want to pay, the agent said, she needed to check it at the counter -- which would've caused her to miss her flight. A stranger standing behind her offered to pay the fee, allowing Cassidy to get on the flight and return home.
In the seventh and final tweet of the thread, Cassidy revealed the mystery donor was Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham.
And a good story..!!
Thats nice....but I give out hefty amounts of taxes so some lowlife can scam the government out of money...and the gubmint toooo stupid to stop it...i should be internet digital lore too. ESPN trying to dress up the nfl. Its over,espn/nfl cabal.
Did you even read the article?
Gresham is a GOOD guy..!!
Do I watch the NFL? NO!!!
But this guy is a good Oklahoman...and a good citizen.
He was raised right.....
You are frankly talking crazy talk........
OO -
Thanks for sharing. I’d heard of Gresham’s voluntary kindness before, but not this incident. Jermaine (as is many footballers from Oklahoma) is quite the modest gentleman. I met him a couple of times when he was at OU, and it is refreshing to see his maturity. Ignore any comments of those that find fault with his grace. Sharing with others is something that is laudable. I’m proud of him as he clearly doesn’t have the bighead.
All good things to you, my FRiend.

Exactly. It’s not like it was staged. I saw a fellow do this for someone a couple of weeks ago at the Philadelphia airport (of all places, LOL). The recipient asked for the contributors contact info so he could pay him back and the gentleman just said “When you’re able to, pass it on to someone else who needs it”. There are still a lot of good people in the world.
Just was not expecting that first comment..at all.
Jermaine is a good person...and a good roll model....for everyone...
Best to you my FRiend
Nothing personal...but i give out lots of stuff to strangers too...so really....i salute you if you do the same. Please fontinue doing so...maybe they will publicize you too(cuz you would deserve it as much as Mr. Gresham)
But your post was illogical....and made no sense to me.
Frankly..this post you posted makes little sense...........
That said....Mr. Jermaine Gresham..is a a good man.
Totally agree.....!!!
You seem a little confused.
It's a good story...and it's real.
I like Jermaine....he's a good guy.
