WWE Star Titus O誰eil Took A Group Of Homeless People To A Restaurant To Prove A Point

Source: Uproxx Sports

Titus O’Neil has a point to prove, and it’s a good one: That all people, regardless of their status, should be viewed and treated equally. O’Neil originally tried to show this by taking a pair of homeless people to a local Yard House restaurant. However, the restaurant was supposedly hesitant to serve O’Neil and his guests. So, the WWE star returned the next day with an entire group of less fortunate guests.

The results, per his Instagram account, were different and for the better:
"I'm gathering homeless people to take them out to eat at @yardhouse last night I did the same thing and the manager seemed distant in Serving the two last night so I said instead of just posting I'll gather more and eat lunch with them at that Resturant. They need to learn how to treat All humans as such. #ContentOfCharacter #AllLivesMatter"

Unique way to prove a point. Pretty good guy for giving a helping hand to a few folks.

with who is paying the bill. All the people should be served with dignity and respect.

But I am glad that these comments came from a man like O'Neil, who was also named "Celebrity Dad of the Year" by some national "dads" organization. He brought a varied group to that eatery too.
On a semi-related note, listen to Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong, who is also black, speaking about the death of one of his officers. He says the same thing as well and emphasizes it.
