I normally hate anything anything on Facebook that involves the line “copy, paste, fill this out and post.” But, I can MIGHT get behind this new Facebook favorite player trend. I certainly don’t hate it as much as usual. Let’s make sports great again. Maybe this stupid, viral Facebook chain-letter thing will remind people of some great athletes.

I wanted to give credit to my friend and business partner, Ken Norton. He’s the first person that I noticed posting this facebook favorite player nonsense on Facebook and it kind of took off from there. So, I figured I’d let him say his piece as well.
