The entire sporting world loves Jack Hoffman, the 7 year old with brain cancer fighter and a 69 yard touchdown run at the Husker spring game on his résumé.
Everyone except Ricky Fulton of Omaha. It seems Mr. Fulton spent most of Sunday complaining about Bo Pelini's choice of running backs on the games last scoring play. Facebook posts about Jack Hoffman by the likes of Jim Rose and Steven M. Sipple drew comments from Mr. Fulton that many Husker fans took exception to--so much so that either Facebook or Ricky Fulton himself seem to have deleted or hidden the comments and perhaps the entire account.
The good news that this is America and free speech is still encouraged. Ricky isn't running from or backing off his statements even if they are hidden on Facebook. His twitter account @rickylee41 is still alive and kicking and showing his dislike for watching 69 yard touchdowns that 2,000,000 less hard-hearted YouTube viewers can't bear witness to without shedding a tear or three.
Perhaps we can help Mr. Fulton's heart grow three sizes larger. Here is the plan: go to http://www.teamjackfoundation.org/ and show your support by ordering a Team Jack t-shirt or raising money for the CureSearch Walk for Children's Cancer, then send a tweet to Mr. Fulton @rickylee41, and tell him how Jack's touchdown run inspires you.
