Football player's picture with autistic boy goes viral
A college football star is being praised for his kindness off the field. A photo showing Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph eating lunch with Bo Paske — who often sits by himself — has become a social media sensation. Mark Strassmann went to Tallahassee to find out what brought the pair together.
Damn all the ladies sitting with him now 😅
bro sitting with all the girls now
Awesome!! Made that beautiful baby feel soooo special and baby boy deserves it!!! Thanks you!!! I hope those other kids understand everyone needs to feel special even if they are just a lil bit different!!! Thank you young football star we need you to sign with the Ravens lol!!
Sup dude 😅
That’s right bro respect!!!
notice how it was only girls around him?
I’m crying with this story.
Righteous Move,That Lil Boy Will Never Forget That Kindness,the B.S. afterwards not so much
Way to go mom
Good stuff young man 👍
Humanity is actually finished man, I swear. Why would you not sit with someone because they’re autistic
god this is patronizing
Funny how when they become grown ups it’s the SAME behavior: YOU are just living your life and you’re a nobody with maybe 30 followers on Instagram (mostly friends, coworkers, family).
Then one day you make a hit single record, become a NFL, NBA superstar or a famous actor/actress. Now EVERYONE wants to be around you and your IG blows up with 1 million+ followers! Human beings are something else. 🤦🏽♂️
A little kindness makes a BIG difference❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice story
❤👏👍✊🏻👊🏻
Awesome story 👏
That’s awesome
Now, this brought tears to my eyes, in a good way!
As a father with a 11yr old autistic son, this made me cry because these children are so sweet and loving. Great job Travis!
Awesome ❤❤❤
Amen ♥️I hope they are still in touch with one another
Didnt i see in a recent interview, that that football player ended up passing away or went to prison? Maybe its someone else, but swear i thought it was this guy…..regardless, awesome gesture by that guy❤🙏
It only takes one person to make a difference .
The contrast in this kind act and the actions of us president elect trump is vast!…usa has lost its way.
mom’s happiness is like a dagger to the heart
Beautiful souls
What a sweetheart!! Hey Bo❤😊😊
THIS DARK AND EVIL WORLD NEEDS THIS KINDNESS. I LOVE THESE TWO BOYS. BOTH CAN BE MY FRIEND ANYTIME.
La amistad está sobrevalorada, es dificil de ganar y facil de perder, solo se hacen verdaderos amigos trás muchos años de conocimiento, y son más amigos por los defectos que les aceptas que por las virtudes que les encuentras.
A true man!!!!
@ 2:20 ……… well damn, i guess "groupies" come in all ages huh ??? lol
Dude probably avoided a mass shooting.
They’re fake friends. Bless his heart
Hello superstar..
😢
I’d rather eat crumbs wit bumbs b4 i split a snake wit some fake ahh ppl
this seems so grossly disingenuous, like someone saying a prayer aloud so other people can hear
I wouldnt want those kids near me…remember how you used to look at me?…..bye
The fact that travis Rudolf killed sombody 3 years later
he’s so vibrant 😭🙏
Isn’t this the guy. Whose ex-girlfriend got him caught up in a false m**der charge? He was acquitted. It’s just horrible something like that happened to such a kind heart
What class act guy . Much respect , parents must be very proud and you should be
This football player has this 77 year old man seeing this with tears in my eyes, so proud of him for being so kind and caring. He has a heart of gold 💛.
😊
Im a hurricane fan and born and bred to hate everything FSU however I’d like to welcome Travis to a small prestigious group of noles that I actually like, cheer for and respect. The late great Bobby Bowden, Charlie Ward, Warrick Dunn and now Travis Rudolph. Well done young man, you are a Hero and the kingdom of Heaven awaits thee
❤
I’m crying. That’s what humanity and real influence does. It helps someone else. Both of those kids are amazing and thank you for some good news!
Now i understand why its important for famous people to have TRUE friends and support instead of fake people who just like you because they seen you on TV .
