When he kneeled at the end zone, Bethel-Thompson didn’t think about himself. He thought bigger picture.
“Just thank you. Thank you, my loved ones,” he said.
“Thank you to my family, thank you, mom and dad. I just think of all of the people that believed in me and sent me good energy. Thank you to my ancestors…my grandpa Pete that passed away.
“My ancestors were there tonight, I could feel them floating with me and I just let go. When you believe in karmic energy and space and time, everything happens at the same time. (My ancestors) were with me. I just thank them and thank them for having my back and thank them for the moment.”
