With so much bad going on in the world, Zay Jones was able to provide us with a little bit of much-needed good feels on Sunday.
The Raiders’ wide receiver was out shopping at a Home Goods, when he was approached by a white woman. What happened next was likely not what you expected to happen.
i hesistated to hug her bc she was wearing a mask from practicing social distancing, but i asked if she wanted a hug and she folded into my arms. she cried while she told me how important it is to spread love. i didn’t get her name but I’m grateful for the encounter.

He followed it up with another tweet saying “beautiful hearts still exist. be the example. be the light. love others.”
It won’t change what’s happening in our country, but this was a story that was definitely needed.
