A really touching video that starts awfully slow, but then picks up around the 3:30 mark.
From what I can glean from YouTube, Marck Bakker, aka Red Mark, was treated to a tribute at a soccer game in the Netherlands. Mark was terminally ill, and died three days after the tribute.
It’s a neat video. Mark chokes up when they unfurl a huge banner in his likeness, then he goes to meet the team and the fans give him a standing ovation.
Marck died three days later on June 29.

It is always pleasing to see sports veteran to be back on the field and especially when they are treated in a special way like this one. RIP Marck.

We’re too busy chasing the next dollar.
very nice, compassion is expressed to little especially to those not within ones own peer group, empathy for all should be the goal for everyone.
People can do wonderful and amazing things for others at times like this. When death is imminent, after a disaster, in an emergency, after a mass shooting. It’s a shame that they (we) find it so difficult to be like this in just our day to day lives.
