Now more than ever people are feeling isolated and alone. Covid — no matter how much of a denier you are — is STILL raging on and separating people. Staring at Zoom screens and text messages every day takes away the warmth of human contact. It gets lonely.
That is how 81-year-old Bill Bullock felt. His story is heart wrenching.
"There must be something about it [soccer] that binds us."
An 81-year-old widower and lifelong football fan - isolated from his family when COVID hit - mentioned he liked soccer as part of a pen pal program. The response... has been magic. @TheNCCourage @ChelseaFCinUSA @USWNT pic.twitter.com/wYY9PDzWUA— Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) August 5, 2020
Soccer, fútbol, football or footy — however you say it — it’s the worldwide unifier. And if you want to be Mr. Bill’s pen pal, they have his information in the video so you can send him something nice.
