College
football players constantly amaze us with their strength, agility, endurance
and speed
Save
when they are off the field and the laws and proper treatment of women they
often fail to heed
Florida
State has a winning football program a fact no one should doubt
Many
a time that has faced them has faced a humiliating rout
But
off the field women to often are viewed as quarterbacks that must be sacked
Since
2009 the Seminoles have led the nation in committing sexual attacks
20
young men for rape and sexual assault have been arrested
That
there is a problem here that the University seems fit to ignore cannot be
contested
No
one has a right to blitz a women’s right to refuse an unwanted advance
A
man when met with a no needs to have his little brain call time out no matter
what she is wearing or how seductively she dances
No
means no and plying a women with alcohol until unconscious means no too
Forget
that and on conviction a lifetime of being labeled a sexual predator will ensue
Against
that backdrop the news the other will warm your heart
Bo
Paske is an 11 year old with autism that causes his classmates to from him
depart
A
lunch time always sitting alone without a friend near
While
at nearby tables the sounds of laughter and joking about him, he can probably
hear
Travis
Rudolph, a wide receiver for the Seminoles, had visited the school to speak in
class
Walking
a route holding a lunch on a tray did not view Bo as a corner to be avoid and
continue past
No
Travis sat down with Bo to some company provide
While
someone snapped a photo of the lunch and sent it on a viral ride
A
simple moment of kindness not scripted or planned in advance
Bo
will probably never eat alone again and may well be asked to dance
Good
you Travis, may you in your football career and the game of life always excel
Blessed
your knowledge that you have lifted an autistic boy from an ostracized hell
