Eagles Player Takes Young Fan to Daddy-Daughter Dance After Her Father's Death 

Well said!

@Patrick M King Hear Hear . I agree with you 💯 %

This why the Walter Payton man of the year award has become the most coveted award in football.

Wise words

😊

They sure did! He seems like he has old school morals. What a great story!

To put himself in jeopardy to please boss huh!.

@@robthomas9070 I'll give it 3 years, then she and her parent will file a suit against him for inappropriately touching her. When will our Black sons learn?

@@marilyndbillington9825 I'm truly concerned that Black Pride is over. So many instances of black people not only forgiving bigotry but also turning against the true essence of who we are. From celebrities to your average dude at work. The self hate is terrifying and very real.

Unlike the rest of them

👍

Me too! What a super kind thing to do for a young lady.

Why limit it to just the NFL? How about the whole world?

@@Rob774 None of the comment inferred there were any limitations whatsoever. You need a mirror fast.

This is Tim Tebow-esque for sure. Now if only all overpaid athletes (90%) were like Tim Tebow who built the hospital in the Philippines this world would be a much better place. Huge kudos to this football player following Tim's lead. There are quite a few athletes just like this unfortunately it's just such a small percentage.

@@billclark8241 How do you know who does what? Not everything is publicized. Perfect example... Harris didn't release this, the girl's family did. Lots of guys do stuff anonymously to avoid the spotlight, cause its about the cause... not what people think.

@@billclark8241 My mirror shows a guy who for years has been a volunteer basketball and boxing coach in West Philly. This isn't about Tebow, its about Harris. You have zero clue what other players do. Maybe you are the one projecting because you are the one who needs to do more, and stop judging others on what they and supposedly don't do.

I sincerely hope this daddy/daughter relationship with the entire family continues. He is probably going to give her away in about 15 years time when she gets married. That will be the icing on the cake for both families!

Oh my goodness 🤦‍♂️

Well said… we reap what we sow. They sowed concern, support and most of all love to a young man. In return he returned that same concern, support and most of all ❤️

I agree with you and love how you quoted Jesus on this. It's all about love. Much love.

Humanity

The Bible says, Edify one another while it is the day. Simply put, lift one another up when you have an opportunity. They each did and God bless!

Make that two NE fans

Even though we beat you guys in 2017 😛

Definitely selfless. I doubt the NFL has a "Daddy Daughter Dance" clause. He didn't have to, but he did! Major respect! (Go Rams!)

I was commenting above about how PRESENT he was with her. Not a publicity thing nor did he do it to merely prove to the world that ya can do good things.... he really felt for that family. He was truly present in the moment, and that little girl was glowing as she danced. I am hoping this took key sad thoughts about her dad not being able to go with her, even though her thoughts are most likely always with him. I bet her dad was in that room as well. What a special moment.

Me too

made me sick

@@jonesy4588 y..

Yuck

Geezus, how special do you think you are?? No one cares.

That's wonderful!

How lovely!

Ik of him cuz football he’s a really good player on and off the field ima raider fan but I always like Harris I wanted raiders to sign him but the eagles got him from the Vikings lmao

@@brooooooooooooooooo______ I'm a Philly fan and I also know of him through football only and have watched him when he played for the vikings. I was glad Philly picked him up. Lol

I’m not an NFL fan at all... or I wasn’t.. but I will certainly be following Mr Harris’ career now! Someone that thoughtful has a special place in this world, and football can only be the tip of the iceberg for this fine man!

I don't like this!!!! Something positive coming from the world of sports????? Are you trying to say that sportsmen and women are only about negative things????? Sports in itself is something positive!!!! They also keep us entertained!!! They are human beings who excel in what they do by putting in hours of practice!!!! They may not be doctors but God gave them Lemons and they made lemonade!!!! Most of them never do well in academics and feel inferior when algebra and calculus is going on IN the classroom!!!! Give them a break please!..... Speaking as a teacher!

@Njambi Erastus: What on earth are you talking about? Over the last few years, the vast majority of sports stories are negative. Usually involving some kind of racial/racist element. This is a story where one player reached out to a fan and acts like a REAL MAN instead of some overpaid primadonna! It's things like this that need to be reported more, celebrated more, because society is being destroyed by ideological tribalism. Something which sport should NOT be part of.

Yes mam !! So true.. ❤️ love your comment.. thank you 🙏

Exactly!!! I was thinking about how clear it was that he really felt for that special little gal... I've said it in a couple comment responses as well as my post above, but I can't help but say again how present he was in that room with her. He wasn't trying to show the world that he did a nice thing, it was real and all class. It showed all over that little sweetheart if a young lady's expressions too. Anthony Harris really did something special, and it's super cool how grounded that family was too... they kept it about the young lady. Not a publicity moment of her daughter chilling with a pro dude type of thing, ya know what I mean? It was all done with pure heart. And you said it right, his smile showed how he his inside as well.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon, too. Why not cheer on an athlete who is a true role model! Wonderful story in such dark times.

WOW!!! What a gentleman!! Young men, this is how it’s done…young ladies, this is how a young man should treat you…with respect & kindness. Mr. Harris, I know your Mama has to be so proud!! I know I am!! Well done Sir!! Much respect!! ❤️ You have a new fan young man!! #28🦅🦅🦅

And as an eagle fan, honored to have that man come to our squad, from your class organization. I know our teams have gone to bitter war more than once, but here in this situation it shows that it all goes beyond the game. Anthony Harris did something super special here. He was truly present too, no publicity type of thing, he really was present for her. And it showed all over her expressions. Definately a heart melting moment. Pure class and heart.

You’re damn right she will. When I was 11, I was a huge WWF fan and I liked chris Jericho, he wasn’t my favorite, but I liked him. He came to my local mall to sign autographs. It was $50 to get a picture signed. I had just recently broke my arm and got a cast the week before. When we got to the beginning of the line to get the picture, the guy says, “if you want your cast signed, it’ll be another $50.” My mom said we couldn’t afford it. We get up to Jericho, and he signs the picture then asks, “would you like me to sign your cast?” I told him “that guy over there said it would be $50 and we cant afford it.” He gave the dirtiest look ever to the guy, then looked back at me with a huge smile and said “give me your arm” and signed his name SUPER big on my cast. I was so happy and it brought my mom to tears. He hugged her and we left. After that, he became one of my favorite wrestlers and its one of my favorite childhood memories.

Same here.

Amen and Amen!!!

I was thinking that too. That man deserves a real handshake and thank you for being so real, and so present... more than mere comment on a site. That little gal was special too.
