Doing what is right, is not always easy, but sometimes it can be life changing.  And that is exactly what happened with the Cincinnati Bengals Defensive tackle Devon Still.

I love sports. I LOVE sports. I could watch football or basketball all day. Don’t get me wrong though, even though I love sports, it is a business. Teams have budgets, (minus the NY Yankees) that have to be kept, but they have responsibilities to their fans, their vendors, their players, their employees, etc. but sometimes, teams get it right. Sometimes, the business side of sports gets puts to the side and a team does what is right to help a player.

Devon Still’s daughter was diagnosed with Stage 4 pediatric cancer in June and even though Devon was in camp and trying to earn a spot on the team, he was cut. But, instead of cutting Devon completely from the team, the Cincinnati Bengals signed Devon to their practice squad, which allowed him to still be paid, still have insurance for his daughter and most importantly, since she was being treated in Cincinnati, he gets to stay close to his daughter. Could the Bengals have cut Devon and said that he was taking a valuable spot on their team, sure. I am sure that if they had, everyone would have said, it was business.

Instead, they are doing what is right. They have taken care of a player who is going through a lot in his life right now. He is trying to work and provide for his family, while at the same time, he has to be worried to death about his daughter. Today, the Cincinnati Bengals have been caught doing what is right. They put the needs of a person, above the business.
