I do my best to be a reasonable voice in the internet content space. I’m pretty careful about the content I curate through my commentary on this here website. To be quite honest with you guys, I don’t know if I want to laugh, cringe, or put my fist through a wall after watching this clip. But, I feel compelled to share it because it just feels like one of those all time “what the fuck do you think you are doing?” kinda moments. This clip came across my Twitter feed over the weekend thanks to Rick Merritt, who shared it with an appropriate “Ummm…” – so I’ll just let you watch it and see what you think.
Adam gave the shirt off his back to a sad Kentucky Fan. The Shirt was autographed by Davion Mintz @deemintz1 Just couldn't see the kid leave without something to show for it. Davion would have wanted Adam to do that. #BBN pic.twitter.com/ksan0pKOqr

Look, I guess loss makes people do weird things and all, but come on man. You gotta take the L like the rest of us and just get really shitfaced drunk. I understand wanting to spread positivity and cheer some kids up, but you can’t be walking around a basketball game taking your sweaty ass shirt off and handing it to kids you don’t know. Call me crazy, but I don’t think you should be taking your sweaty ass shirt off and handing it to kids you DO know either. There’s a reason dad kept having to say “what do you say, man?” It’s because that kid absolutely did not want to thank that man. The look in his eyes screams “do I have to?” And, filming it all? So that what? You can make yourself look like some beacon of good will? GTFOH. This is some weirdo shit.
The part that does make me laugh though is knowing that this dude is now walking around a crowded arena without a shirt on. And, I don’t know if you noticed, but he doesn’t exactly have the type of body that people want to see walking around bare-chested. I know, I know – I’m breaking one of our company’s core values (uplift others) in my shit talking, but I can’t help it. Who thinks like that? Or, did he just get carried away in the moment and not think it through? Like, it’s gonna hit him halfway home when he wants to stop for ice cream but can’t step foot in the Dairy Queen because he doesn’t have a shirt on. “Damn, I might’ve fucked up, y’all.” That part is hilarious – I’ll at least give y’all that.
People are absolutely railing this dude in the comments. I’m not usually one to suggest piling it on top of people, but this guy kinda deserves it. I understand he may have had good intentions, but that’s a weird thing to do point blank. If that was my kid, I would’ve told that man to get the fuck out of there. That shirt would immediately be in the garbage. If you think I’m overreacting, why don’t you go find a kid at the next sporting event you go to, take your shirt off, hand it over, and see what happens? No, I’m kidding – don’t do that. That’s how kids end up with trauma.
Kentucky fans, come get your boy.
