Run Ricky Run

I would describe Ricky as honorable. As we talked about last year in english, we talked about the american dream and one day fulfilling your life goal's while living with an abundance of money. Ricky, had the American Dream in hand and decided to give it up for something else he believed in. I feel bad for him, how the media portrayed him. They portrayed him as a person who loved drugs over football and his family, but in reality he was just trying to recoup his body and mind from the beating it takes from football. The media would portray him as a villain who had given up on his team and the fan base which loved him. I believe they got it wrong. He really had issues which he was trying to work out. It is commendable that he chose his health over the millions of dollars he would have received struggling with his identity throughout his seasons in football.
