Neiron Ball’s story is one of sadness, resilience, and togetherness

First and foremost: I should have posted the GoFundMe campaign for former Florida Gators linebacker Neiron Ball here on Sunday or Monday, when I first saw it. I didn’t want to do that before I’d investigated at least a little — to be sure about its legitimacy, and be sure that my own donation was going to the right place — and got caught up not doing that.

But I also didn’t want to post it just to get clicks for doing something right, or as part of a Chomping at Bits where it would have equal stature to other items about facts and factoids and feelings on which Florida players are looking good in fall practice.
