This speech was moving and powerful
It is funny that the greatest hero of the night gets so few views.
God I can't imagine how awful it must feel knowing you're a burden on your loved ones; knowing your own simple existence makes everyone else's day harder. Coupled with the physical manifestations of the disease, this guy has endured more than the vast majority of humans in history. For him to still fight on, made props Steve. You are a blessing.
Powerful
Thank you Mr Gleason. My husband passed away from ALS in 2008. You, your amazing son by your side, and your whole community are in my deepest heart. Knowing how hard it is to even get into the award ceremony; I will watch and share this speech every chance I get. You’re definitely a hero to us.
ESPN got this award right. They should be ashamed and ridiculed for giving Harry that award.
Remarkable speech! An what a wonderful message for our world
Steve and Jason Beckerr still defying the odds and leaving beauty in their wake
Amazing thanks Steve!
It is sad when a quadriplegic that still desires to live can win the same award as a transgender that could not accept what they were. This award means nothing
His son realizes what a treasure his dad is! Steve has so persevered in adversity. Done amazing selfless acts for others. He is not consumed with himself but keeps pouring out to help others. To think he cannot even scratch an itch on his own, but look what he has done. Amazing vision and heart for service. Much love and respect to the whole Gleason clan for making a difference. Steve…courage off the charts!
It takes so much courage to live with such a horrific disease. If I get diagnosed with ALS, I’m making sure my life ends by the end of the week. Because I’m a coward. Steve Gleason is truly a great man
Anybody else crying their eyes out?
An amazing speech. Bless you Steve Gleason

Remember when he climbed a mountain….. I mean had a group of people carry him up
His wife , badge of servitude! His kids are beautiful ❤
What a wonderful human, Steve Gleason. But those people in the audience dont give a crap. Theyre only worried about their woke beliefs. What do they know about real struggles? An Audience of narcissists is as useless as a wart on the bottom of a heel.
Such a wonderful speech and powerful message. Thanks Steve and ESPN!
Tgankyou for sharing this❤
God Blessings!!!
I wish he played for Jets
