Titus O'Neil Issues A Call For Community Action
ESPYs were held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, bringing out professional athletes across women’s and men’s sports for a night of music, laughs, and celebrating their peers.As football, basketball, hockey, and track & field stars walked the red carpet, we asked them for one piece of advice they’d share with the next generation of athletes at home watching them gathered together in a room in Hollywood hoping for a chance to one day be in their shoes. For pro wrestler Titus O’Neil, the answer to that question spoke more to the community activist side of being a professional athlete than it did the physical training and mental toughness that allows one to participate in sports on a national stage.“Let’s not be ignorant to the realities of our country,” the global ambassador for the WWE told ESSENCE.
