A Breath of Fresh Air in Troubled Times: the Great Bo Jackson Visits Uvalde, Proves He's a Hero Worth Keeping

For sports fans who grew up in the 80s, it’s impossible to forget Bo Jackson. The man was a supernatural force, excelling in football, baseball and track. Unquestionably, many saw him as a hero. And now they have an additional reason for that view.

As reported by The Associated Press, Bo flew to Texas three days after May 24th’s gruesome murders of 19 schoolchildren and two teachers.

Accompanied by an unnamed friend and co-contributor, Bo was there to help Uvalde families reeling from the evil wrought upon Robb Elementary School.

Per the AP, Bo now reveals “himself as one of the…donors who covered (funeral) costs…”

Bo presented Gov. Greg Abbott with a check for $170,000. At the time, it was announced as an anonymous donation.

“We didn’t want media,” Bo explains. “No one knew we were there.”
