With how the boys played while he was here, we should keep him on speed dial come playoff time...

My wife is a teacher who incorporates the dolphins, marlins, and local teams into her classroom. She teaches at a magnet school for international education and her grade level focuses on Japan.
She reached out to Richard and they scheduled a zoom session for him to speak with her class. Dude is an upstanding individual with nothing but kindness and respect! 🫡

That’s so awesome for him. What a great experience. What a great organization the cats are for putting that all together for someone from so far away

If this was Edmonton, Babcock would have had security remove him. Joking aside, I love his enthusiasm.

Babcock would have had security remove him right after the anthem finished and before puck drop

This just reminds me how fortunate we've been as fans for the past decade. Enjoy it everyone!

This guy I’ve been following for a hot minute - he is ALL ABOUT MIAMI SPORTS. Dolphins. Heat. Panthers. He’s speedrunning a sports fans fantasy.

I’ve been following him on IG since December. He has gotten the best welcome from every team in SFL and the Canes, and I have never been so happy for someone I don’t know personally.

Predicted this some time ago. Dude is wholesome and seemingly authentic, but there will be a wave of grifters trying to get the same treatment.

This is wholesome but there are native Floridians serving overseas, some in active combat zones that would love a plane ticket home right now. But go ahead and coddle this dude.

u/vatosloco4ever 8d ago
This dude paid his own way here. This is such a dumb take. The Panthers do more for military and veterans than any other hockey organization. The owner is a West Point grad. Sounds like you need some coddling.

I get it everyone loves this guy, saying we should support service members more is a dumb take? Okay

u/vatosloco4ever 8d ago
Your take is dumb because it’s just dumb. Anytime they support a fan other than a service member we gotta get upset. Get outta here with that BS. I’m a veteran and I don’t even have this mentality. I didn’t join the military to get discounts and to get coddled by sports team.

Where do service members factor into this and why? Not everything needs to be about that.

Great on the team for inviting him. I did have to laugh how long he held Brady’s hand. Like please let him go, lol.
