Bo Jackson, considered by many to be one of the greatest athletes of all time, donated to help cover the funeral costs for the 19 children and two adults murdered at Robb Elementary School.
He said that he felt a personal connection after driving through there many times on his way to a hunting trip.
Jackson flew to Texas to meet with the governor and give him a check for $170,000 to help with funeral costs. Jackson didn't want any media around when Abbott announced it as an anonymous donation. He spoke publicly about the donation for the first time.
Parents should not bury their children. Jackson told the AP that it was not right. They didn't need to shell out a lot of money for something that shouldn't have happened.
Jackson is the only athlete in history to be named an All-Star in both professional baseball and football. In Alabama, he leads an annual charity bike ride that raises money for the state's emergency relief fund.
Jackson doesn't know a soul in Uvalde. I just felt it touch me.
The families of the victims will not be charged for the services.
He said that the children were the reason for it. Something isn't right with you if it doesn't bother you.
The governor sent a video to the Texas convention opposing gun restrictions. He called for more security in schools after the massacre. He didn't call for gun safety precautions.
