Please, let’s not argue under such a precious video. I was just showing my appreciation of a fellow burned survivor.

[@idk-qg2rm]

This man deserves to play on a professional level. If he starts playing in the NFL,I'll start watching it just for him.

[@meep6258]

He needs to be worth paying if he is trash it is what it is just cuz he went through something bad doesn't give him a free pass

[@idk-qg2rm]

@@meep6258 well, i mean yeah...but, skill isn't all it takes to be an NFL player. It starts with a players youth, at a very young age who dream at this. What the State looks for , is a college recommended player with the spirit and strength to strive for non stop success ,for the state, and the team. I see all of this in him. And anyone in his position, even though no one can see this comment; I encourage them to fight for their dreams as well.

@National Autistic Socialism Your hoing to fireng blistering hell. You need to ask god to forgive you. God is real. How do you think the world existed. Because of god.

[@lazyshooter23]

@@jeffreymartinez6064 Read more than one book on religion and you'll see that there have been hundreds before your own and many more to come. We imagine gods, and we write religions. None of them stand the true tests of time. All those hundreds that have fallen into oblivion, along with the civilizations that had birthed them, become testaments to the frailty mysticism. If you had grown up during the age of Greek mythology, you'd be fearing the wrath of Zeus!

[@get_shanked9433]

National Autistic Socialism well, you can tell that to Adam and Eve

[@phoenix6553]

Get_Shanked okay... if Adam and Eve were real then who created them? If god is real then who created him? How can you believe a book that has been written and revised for over thousands of years? And how do you know that any of what is in that book truly happened? Out of all people, why was “god” the one that could “change our lives” or “break our lives” and how does it make sense that if something good happens then it was god that made that happen? And if something bad happens then how is it gods plan for our future. Religion truly makes 0 sense. But it’s your choice to believe whatever you wish.
