6-year-old upset that she wasn't old enough to marry Texans star, JJ Watt. So he "Pops" the Question with a Candy Ring Pop

[h=1]Texans' J.J. Watt 'proposes' to young fan[/h]

All right, J.J. Watt. You win. You win it all.

It wasn't enough to be the best defensive player in the NFL. It wasn't enough to record maybe the greatest season ever by a defensive lineman, or win the AFC South, or go to the Pro Bowl, or become a household name.

You're melting hearts now? Take it. Take it all.

This all started when a little girl named Breanna cried to her mother. She thought she needed to be 25 in order to marry J.J. Watt. But she was only 6. This was a devastating realization.

"I wish I was 25," she cried. "I want to marry J.J. Watt."

Her mom's recording of this went semi-viral on YouTube and soon gained Watt's attention. He harnessed the power of his 200,000 Twitter followers to find Breanna.

"Does anyone happen to know this cute little girl?" he wrote. "We have to find her and turn those tears into a smile."

And that's exactly what happened.

Wednesday, Watt sent out photos of himself "proposing" to Breanna. Her dress was a white Watt jersey. Her ring was a Ring Pop. He brought flowers too. They even had a first dance — to Justin Bieber.

"It was really, really cool," Watt told Yahoo! Sports Radio. "It was fun, it was priceless."

That's all class.

What a nice guy.

How much do you want to bet that there are some on this forum that think he's a racist because she is white?

These are the kind of athletes that teams need to build around. Class Act.

i thought it was a bit much when he cried after the rose bowl loss, and i was never a big fan of wisconsin football, but he has made me a fan of his with actions like this

CoachCB · Feb 1, 2013

And it is the first few weeks of the offseason in which a number of pro-athletes are hanging with their "homies" and getting drunk/ doing drugs.

Have always been a fan of JJ Watt. Class act.

The Great One returns · Feb 1, 2013

JJ Watt is someone who has used every God given gift to the fullest.

When someone can be NFL Defensive player of the year when they were half ass recruited by Central Michigan as basically a back up tight end tells you all you need to know.

I would say with him it is all heart and desire to get to where he has gotten. Natural talent would have prob. put him on someone's practice squad.

Def a class act !

Probably a good guy, but the media builds people up to tear them down (Kobe and Tiger plus many others) to name some. Remember Kobe (he speaks a bunch of languages, he reads books, he's different).........Remember Tiger (he is the perfect family man and such a great, classy human being that is perfect.............The same media that builds u up will be the first one to rip u apart and then try to build u up again for the comeback story like Ray Lewis since it is Super Bowl week...........The media is suspect and they can take anybody that does a good deed and put it on camera for all to see. The good ones do great things when nobody is watching. Hopefully, Watt is one of the good ones and remains that way.

True, but Watt is a little different than those others.....He may end up being a creep, but chances are better that he isn't over others you mentioned based off his past....Only thing you may ever get on him is a banned substance (which should be legal)

I knew Tiger was full of shit from the beginning and I think alot of others did too.

EXACTLY

manti te'o, ryan braun, muhammad ali, etc etc etc

In 2005, ABC’s “Good Morning America” got its hands on an audio tape of Jackson telling his former adviser Dieter Wiesner that ”they’re like leeches…I’m so tired of it…They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything. End up penniless. It is a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose.”

So what is the issue?
