For his first game of the NFL season, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams honored Suicide Prevention by painting his nails with the movement’s colors and logo on one hand, and “988”, the number for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, on the other hand.

NFL players are such an odd bunch. Mostly normal people, averaged out… but then some get a ton of money. So you’re left with some selfish billionaires, some burn-outs, and CTE-addled murderers.
But every now and then you get some people who remember where they came from. And it’s really, really cool to see that outside of the otherwise-exploitive NFL. Richard Sherman comes to mind.
Majority NFL fanbase might like to shit on Caleb for his “gay”ness but its refreshing to see someone, especially a starting QB, challenging the overly masculine norms of the league.
About time!
