Sporting KC's Jimmy Nielsen offered a bit of public service while promoting his book during a recent visit to the Kansas City Public Library.
It's a nice clip that teaches us reading can help achieve our goals in addition to hundreds of millions in taxpayer subsidy and nearly superhuman longevity and athletic talent.
Don't be cynical . . . Actually, it's great to see a Kansas City celebrity stopping by the Library which I assumed was just for hobos who need a place to BM, take standing showers or stay alive during the colder months.
Take a look:
"Sporting Kansas City Goalkeeper and Team Captain Jimmy Nielson spoke about reading and the importance of libraries during the launch of his new memoir 'Welcome to the Blue Heaven: Don't bet against the Goalkeeper' published by Ascend Books. The launch was at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library on June 20, 2013."

Jimmy Neilson - Class act. Other kc athletes should take a lesson.
ReplyDeleteJimmy is one of the brightest, funniest athletes we've had in this town in a while. The spot he did on church of lazlo was priceless.
