bonesbr549 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I know some will challenge it was staged, but I do believe him that it just came to him to do it. I sure hope he stays a class act. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11334449/robert-griffin-iii-washington-redskins-gets-autographs-cancer-survivors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I have been rather critical of RG3 for some of his chatter and antics, and I do not back down from those stances one bit. He annoys me to a certain extent. However, whenever someone does something nice for someone else, I see no room or reason to be cynical about it. This seems like a very nice gesture to me and props to RG3 for taking the time to do it. He likely made their day and possibly gave them something they will remember forever. No reason at all to be critical of it. Not one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I thought this was really cool, too. The most valuable thing someone can give you is there time, and Griffin spends a lot of his time doing stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Great story, but some of the comments made me throw-up a little in my mouth. It is amazing how pathetic and ignorant some people are in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returnofthefunbunch Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Great story. It's refreshing to know that some athletes take the time to do the little things that can brighten someone's day. Call him a prima donna, but I call him a pretty good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I thought this was really cool, too. The most valuable thing someone can give you is there time, and Griffin spends a lot of his time doing stuff like this. Exactly. Robert is a good man and he does a lot of really good things that we see and hear about, but also a lot of good things that we don't hear about. I get annoyed when I hear people criticize him every time he does something like this, challenging them as PR stunts. Robert is not the kind of guy that needs someone to encourage him to do something nice or give back, and he does not only do it when the cameras are on like a lot of athletes. People criticize him, yet they have probably never even thought about giving back. There are things to criticize him for, but this is not one of them.

redskindan07 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Nice work by Mr. Griffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFanRob Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 In a time where star players are being suspended left and right I am proud to call this man the quarterback of my team. A little arrogant he can be at times but you cant question his work ethic and good heart. Robert Griffin is a good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
