Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson is trying to teach his fans a thing or two about parenting.
On Saturday, April 24, he shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with one of his daughters via text. He did not specify which daughter it was but he showed that she texted him, “Let me know when u go to Token Miami to get more shoes imma come with you cause I wanna get these yeezys that they have.” The former NFL player responded, “You said you were getting a job, i worked at McDonald’s by Edison to attain extra stuff i wanted in high school.”
Regardless of his (lack of) play inside the now long-razed Riverfront Stadium along the Ohio River, Chad’s always come across as a genuinely good human being. As Larry Brown Sports reported in 2020, he once left a generous tip at a restaurant, because his party stayed after closing time.
Johnson ended up leaving a $1,300 tip. He shared a verse from Proverbs 11:25, which says “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
Clearly, he’s a Christian and an exception to the stereotype, in a sea of arrogant, high-dollar celebrity athletes like LeBron James and others who think their you-know-what doesn’t stink. That they are your betters, morally and otherwise.
