I’m ALL IN pulling for Russell Wilson today!
Russell Wilson is a model for all of us who have been told we “can’t” do something because of x.
Thanks onyx!
For those of you who don’t know Russell Wilson (and many may not, since this is only his 2nd season with the pros and Seahawks), he and his wife are christian and do some great things in and outside the Seattle community (and, BTW, he’s not a high-paid QB right now)
In addition to weekly visits to Seattle’s Childrens Hospital (he visits with the families and kids 1:1, no media photo ops), He also has a passing camp for kids - - video here:

I’ve read that Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch each have their own football camps back in their former hometowns (Compton and Oakland, respectivly) every year for the local kids.
If you haven’t seen this, it’s a great interview with Russell’s grandfather in NC. He won’t be able to attend the game today, due to back issues, but will be watching from NC. Really an amazing and motivated family. I learned a lot I didn’t know, such as Russell’s dad was an attorney and drafted by the Colorado Rockies right before he died. It’s easy to see where he gets his motivation and values!
My screen got a bit misty in reading this.
GO WILSON, BEAST MODE, SHERMAN, AND HAWKS!!!
