Redskins players buy kid X-Box for his birthday
A trip to the store GameStop ended in two Redskins players doing an incredibly nice thing for another young customer they met there, according to one witness who posted the story to Facebook.
Today I witnessed one of the most amazing acts of kindness I've ever witnessed. I was in Gamestop and a child walked in around 11 years old talking about how his birthday was coming up and he's wanted and Xbox one for a few years but his parents couldn't afford it. Another customer overheard this and walked up and asked the child what the issue was. The child explained again that he wanted an Xbox for the last few years for his birthday but his parents couldn't afford it. These two gentlemen told the kid they wanted to buy him an Xbox for his birthday and to go out and get his mom and make sure it was ok. The kid in shocked went and told his mother and this mother came into the store wondering who wanted to buy their child an Xbox. The mom walks in and the one guy said this .
"Ma'am my name is Keith Marshall and this is Rob Kelley and we play for the Washington redskins and we would love to buy your son an Xbox one for his birthday".
My jaw hit the floor watching this. So they buy him the Xbox and a game and they take pictures with the child and go on about their day. I didn't even know what to say. It was such a good moment from 2 guys who I will forever be a fan of from this day on.
After it was posted by the team's official Twitter account, Snapp tweeted:
He also added on Facebook:
"Probably my favorite part was the little boy told them he was a cowboys fan and Keith laughed and gave him a high five for not even caring lol"
