Don’t sell your shoes and jersey, we’ll help with the funeral.
I’m sorry for your loss.

Many readers on NatZero are not sportsball fans. We don’t typically cover sportsball player, though lately we’ve had a lot of stories of CTE patient Herschel Walker. However, we’re making an exception to this to show that fine people with sympathy and care still exist.
J.J. Watt is a professional football player with the Arizona Cardinals. Seeing a tweet from a fan saying that she’s selling some Watt memorabilia to pay for her grandfather’s funeral, Watt stepped in to volunteer to help pay for the service.
