Activ8Social wants to give a special shout out to Rajon Rondo, starting PG of the Boston Celtics, for taking the time to make a trip overseas and meet with injured US troops from Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan. Rondo and his family visited Ramstein Air Base in Germany before training camp.
On his popular Facebook page, Rondo told fans “It was a humbling experience and i was just glad to be there for support and see the smiles on everyones face. Truly thankful.”
This exemplifies how social media can offer insight into the lives of professional athletes like Rondo and give fans a better understanding of a player’s personality off the court. Not only did Rondo connect directly with the troops he visited in Germany, but he also indirectly connected with the thousands of fans who viewed this video on YouTube, Facebook, blogs, and anywhere else it was embedded
Update: Congrats to Rondo and the city of Boston for agreeing to a 5-year contract extension which is hopefully one step closer to Rondo retiring a Celtic.
