I read a article on David Wilson a running back who played for the New York Giants. David was put on the sidelines after a neck injured at the end of last season. While in training camp last week he hurt his neck again, but this time it it more serious. David Wilson went to the doctor to check on his neck injury when he was told he is not advised to play football anymore. David Wilson was told he has diffuse cervical stenosis, and if he doesn't stop playing football he will open himself up to more neck pains and other health issues. David Wilson is only 23 years old and has only complete two season in the NFL.
When I read this article i put goose bumps all over my body because my brother playing in the NCAA and I could only imagine if something like this happened to him. My heart also went out to David because football was his life and now the one thing he had been doing his whole life he cant do anymore.
I think the authors intent was to tell a positive story, the reason why I believe that is because the author quoted David in the article; and all the quotes were him saying something positive. One of the quotes were"“I lived my dream. A lot of people only get to dream their dream. I lived that dream." Although his football career is over his life is not. He can bounce back from this tragedy and still be great. The author is trying to give hope.
