If there is one benefit of having a sports franchise in a city like Houston Texas, it is that some of the sports stars in every community that has at least one major sports franchise that will have at least one sports star who lends a hand to assist the people who are in need during a tragic event.
Houston Texans defensive end J J Watt is the one sports stars who uses his stardom by playing football for the Texans to do his part to assist his community to rebuild after a major tragic event happens.
Watt has raised money last year when the city of Houston was devastated by Hurricane Harvey to assist the people in his town to get back on their feet and rebuild.
Watt has offered to pay out of his pocket the funeral costs of the slain students that were rubbed out in a school shooting last month at the Santa Fe High School.
While the loss of life in a school shooting is painful that will be hard to overcome, the act of generosity from Watt paying for the funeral expenses will ease some stress on the relatives who lost their loved ones in that tragic event in terms of paying for the funerals.
Watt is one the good guys in the National Football League (NFL) who should be the face of the NFL that has been battling a public relations nightmare due to off the field issues like players protesting mistreatment of minorities and police brutality of minorities.
Watt is one person that the city of Houston who can be counted to make the lives of his community a lot better when a tragedy happens.
