Continuing in the tradition of Brandon Phillips, Bears draft pick J.T. Thomas shows pro athletes how to act in public.
During a down off-season, Thomas does the little things right. He rides on a bus with his younger brother who is autistic. That is where he met 14-year-old Joslyn Levell.
Now, before I tell you anymore, you have to promise not to be an immature dickhead who makes pedophile jokes when dudes are being cool. Don’t do it.
One day on the bus, Thomas asked Levell, who has spina bifida (a condition that keeps her in a wheelchair), how her week had gone.
She said it hadn’t gone well because all the guys she asked to the dance had turned her down.
Later, Thomas called her and asked her to the dance. She accepted. I don’t know who this J.T. Thomas guy is, but I like him already.
She said it was the best night of her life.
We can’t forget to hand out kudos to Thomas for teaching all those middle school boys how not to be douchebags. Obviously, 8th-grade boys need a lot of help in that area.
