You have heard all the negative news from the NFL lately. You have heard all the negative news from the Florida State Seminoles. You don't come here for the negative news though. You come here for stories that make you feel good. Despite what is being reported, there is good in football. Especially from the NFL and from Florida State. It is just that the media does not want to report it. Since the media does not want to report it, I will.
Warrick Dunn, yes the same Warrick Dunn that went to FSU (the same university that is trashed by the media) is up to doing great public service again. This NFL legend both on and off the field just donated his 139th home to a single mother. He has changed the lives of 139 families by setting them up for success. 139 families that truly needed the assistance. These are the things that we should talk about more than anything in sports. We should talk about people helping people. There needs to be a balancing act as we cannot ignore the bad, but we shouldn't act like all people are bad people. Kids need to know that celebrities are not perfect, but also know that they can make good choices. Warrick Dunn is one of those people that has always made a good choice.
The media needs to start making sure it reports stuff accurately and fairly too and gives people positivity. It is fine if the media decides to report on Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, etc., but they need facts and not just conjecture. These guys need to report the whole story and if you report on Greg Hardy, then make a big deal about Brandon Marshall too who suddenly gets a pass. If every news outlet is so critical of Jameis Winston who has never been arrested, then ESPN must be critical of their own Mark May who has been arrested 3 times and the NFL Network must be critical of Michael Irvin and Warren Sapp for their past transgressions. Just some consistency and some balance. I believe everyone wants consistency and balance. I think they also want to know that only 1 FSU player has been arrested while signed to a professional contract and his name was Greg Reid and the arrest happened before he was signed. FSU did have this amazing person named Warrick Dunn though and another NFL Man of the Year in Derrick Brooks. Those two amazing athletes make me proud to be a Seminole and Proud to Uphold the Garnet and the Gold. Let me know when graduates from another university do things as amazing as those two. Derrick Brooks and Warrick Dunn are fantastic human beings and Seminoles everywhere are proud of them. Congratulations Warrick on donating your 139th house to a deserving single mother.
