Jackson is trying to navigate a world where his brother is the best quarterback in the NFL. Has he made mistakes? Of course, as well all have, and our brothers aren’t Patrick Mahomes! Maybe he’s from a different generation than you so the TikTok videos aren’t your thing. Maybe you don’t feel he’s handling his brother’s fame and fortune the right way.
Words hurt and you don’t know what people are going through, so be responsible and practice kindness. It may sound cliché, but this world could use a lot more of that as social media, keyboard warriors and cyber bullying can and does destroy lives. Let Jackson continue growing and finding his way in this difficult landscape as the brother of the NFL’s best quarterback. Let him fall, let him succeed and let him make mistakes without being raked over the coals incessantly! As human beings, we are all imperfect, but we can and should afford each other a little compassion and human decency along the way. Let’s all take it upon ourselves to be better and again, practice kindness.
