If ever there was someone who deserves an award for courage, it's this guy. Congratulations Steve Gleasons.👍👍👍
his kid rubbing his shoulders at emotional points got to me. always feels good to unleash a few tears that derive from empathy.
The most courageous person I’ve ever heard put life into perspective.
Thank you Mr Gleason. My husband passed away from ALS in 2008. You, your amazing son by your side, and your whole community are in my deepest heart. Knowing how hard it is to even get into the award ceremony; I will watch and share this speech every chance I get. You’re definitely a hero to us.
This deserves more views. Great message.
His son realizes what a treasure his dad is! Steve has so persevered in adversity. Done amazing selfless acts for others. He is not consumed with himself but keeps pouring out to help others. To think he cannot even scratch an itch on his own, but look what he has done. Amazing vision and heart for service. Much love and respect to the whole Gleason clan for making a difference. Steve...courage off the charts!
Just learned of his story recently and watched his documentary. Such an inspiring and challenging story.
For 4 minutes and 44 seconds, everything was right in the world. Humanity personified!
Such a wonderful speech and powerful message. Thanks Steve and ESPN!

TEAM GLEASON!!! ⚜️
Thank you, Mr. Gleason, for your generosity and for thinking of others who'd have to deal with this diagnosis after your experience. You are the bravest person I've ever heard of. I'm praying for your healing: Lord God Almighty, I command ALS to leave Mr. Gleason's body and be nailed to the Cross, because it is Jesus's will that all be healed. So be it. Mr. Gleason, we love you and your family. God bless you.
God Blessings!!!
Know the measure of a man by the people he touched well done Steve great speech 🫡👏.
Anybody else crying their eyes out?
Steve Gleason for President! ❤
May God continue to strengthen you and keep you.
Great speech Steve. Thanks for sharing. It’s truly valuable to have such great insight and it’s even more brave to accept things as they are in hopes of inspiring others such as myself. #KEEPGOING and keep inspiring others in your journey. Congratulations, well deserved. Prayers to you and your family brother 🙏🏽💙
Steve, what a SOUL, what a beautiful courageous human. And sweet Rivers, for those of us who’ve followed Steve’s story (I lost my granddad to ALS in 2011), it feels like we’ve watched him grow up. Wow.
Surrounded by people in influence, still Carrying around God 😅 laughter pushing daily, enjoying life , humanity greatness !
It takes so much courage to live with such a horrific disease. If I get diagnosed with ALS, I’m making sure my life ends by the end of the week. Because I’m a coward. Steve Gleason is truly a great man
@Not_a_smart_man
I wouldn't say you're a coward.... You're not an ex NFL player who has all these people to rally around him.,. I be like "nothing says love like a morphine push"..that's why this guy is such a hero to me what a man!!
Beautiful Speech, Perspective, Courage, and human ❤️
I expect great things from that young man
Yes, BOTH of them!
His dad was a ferocious headhunter strong safety on the football field! #37⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
Blessings to him and what looks like his son in that white suit 🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
His son Rivers who is almost a teenager. He also has a 6 year old daughter.
My hometown hero in the Tennis world.
Wow, his story is so amazing, moved people to tears
Great speech Steve! 🙏🏾
Steve is truly a Saint

Beautiful speech
beautiful speech Steve Gleason
This night was amazing
I really feel for this guy. My niece died of ALS after a three-battle with the disease. She was only 49. Bless him!
Steve and Jason Beckerr still defying the odds and leaving beauty in their wake
Amen!
an intelligent man to say the least.
Phenomenal speech.
Powerful
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.Oh yes.
God I can't imagine how awful it must feel knowing you're a burden on your loved ones; knowing your own simple existence makes everyone else's day harder. Coupled with the physical manifestations of the disease, this guy has endured more than the vast majority of humans in history. For him to still fight on, made props Steve. You are a blessing.
He has done so much for others with ALS to provide them with equipment and fast. He is still a person and not everyone feels the same. I met a lady not to long ago and her husband had ALS and passed and drained all their bank accounts to stay alive and live with no consideration to her ...some with ALS want to decline all TX and die quicker to take the burden off the family.. it's an individual decision and one no one should have to make ever.
He is truly an inspiration to those with ALS. My mother in law was diagnosed over a year ago now and his foundation has helped get her the equipment she needs to make her life easier day to day. We are thankful for them.
You have a COOL KID There Steve
Great speech!
I am here from the early today show giving highlights and NOT letting him say this when they talked about this this morning
So so sad to see someone suffer like this.😢
An amazing human being. So happy to see him receive this award. Go COUGS. No white flags.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey whose cutting the onions
⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
It is funny that the greatest hero of the night gets so few views.
This deserves the spotlight not some divisive ex royal.
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
I wish he played for Jets
wasn't harry nominated?
ESPN got this award right. They should be ashamed and ridiculed for giving Harry that award.
Spokane’s finest export.
Well...what is stopping this miracle of peace and love? John Lennon's dream hasn't come to pass yet. And so it goes. How many thousands of Steve Gleason's' must remind us of the Truth?
Who is this fella? I never heard of him before.
Remember when he climbed a mountain….. I mean had a group of people carry him up
Who is this man
...is an American former professional football player who played as a safety with the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Washington State Cougars. Originally signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2000, he played for the Saints through the 2006 season. As a free agent in 2008, Gleason retired from the NFL after eight seasons.

saint's legend
I closed the Superdome 5 days after Katrina. Steve Gleason reopened it one year later with a blocked punt against the Atlanta Falcons, the Saints biggest rival in their NFC SOUTH division, resulting in a touchdown as the Saints won on Monday night football and it started the healing and rallied the city of New Orleans and gave everybody here a reason to hope that we as a city would get better after Katrina destroyed it; that we were resilient and would do what it takes to rebuild our city. We were like the ants that got their antpile kicked over. Steve Gleason led the charge to rebuild that antpile. .... ☝️⚜️ #37⚜️
I dont know who this is exactly...jus heard of the name...but 1st glance at the thumbnail i thought this was a prof exavier cosplay that showed up on my feed...but then i read the caption...congrats to this man!
Google Steve Gleason blocked punt and also know it was the Saints first home game after Hurricane Katrina
We need to have the courge to reclaim our country and to protect out democracy.
Vote the Right Wing Extemist out of office!

No White Flags!

If this were awarded by the NFL they'd have given it to a QB for having courage to face defensive linemen.
First!
No 🏳️
How come LeBron didn't get any awards tonight?
