Just a reminder. What this Bulldog did today was incredible. That's what we should lead with. In any post in this thread.

JMO.

WOW this guy is truly a blessing. Pretty speechless. Society is based off social media , likes and #'s for most. This teacher's background in sports no doubt made him willing to sacrifice for the safety of this group of kids. TEAM PLAYER!

I don't think playing sports has anything to do with willingly jumping in front of someone trying to commit a massacre and taking three bullets while doing it. Youre just born that way. Playing sports had nothing to do with it. Very few people can even fathom that event or wrap their heads around that situation. You can say you'd do it but there is no way to know for sure what you'd do before actually being faced with certain death. And, that's exactly what he faced. He sacrificed his life. The good Lord just said, not today!

Excellent kid. Seen this kid grow up in Mahomet years ago. This type of act fits his character perfectly

This was an incredible selfless act. And there's no way to know what anyone would do in this situation. Thank God he did what he did. But I do hope that if athletics does anything, it builds character. If not athletics really doesn't belong in an educational setting. Jason Seaman I'm sure has many truly incredible quailties. Among them is great character.

Athletics does build character but in most cases its just refining or tweaking bit. I'd venture to say the character that let him do something like this was already instilled in him by whoever raised him.
