An Athletic Kindness

NFL running back Aaron Jones is seen in the photo below helping a woman in a wheelchair make it to her gate in time for her flight. For obvious reasons, this photo took the internet by storm (although it seems like it doesn’t take a lot these days for a photo to become viral, but that’s for another post). What’s most touching is how it doesn’t look like there’s a swarm of paparazzi around the pair.

In fact, there aren’t really any people in sight. This proves that Jones was merely doing it to help a person in need and not for a “publicity stunt.” This is a rare, authentic moment. That’s a good egg. Again, these simple acts sometimes take only a few minutes to perform, but they can make a world of difference for someone.
