The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight Friday night gave us everything from seeing Iron Mike’s backside to reminding us that women know how to put on a show.
Following the boxing match, people had mixed emotions about the Paul victory saying it was uneven, but not because he was going up against a legend. But because that legend was 58 years old. That caused memes, but one response was too good.
After someone on Twitter/X jokingly said former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason would be the next opponent to face Paul, he responded saying “Name the time and place.” Followed by the hashtag: No white flags.
Name the time and place. #NoWhiteFlags https://t.co/5WfRQDvZKy

The responses to his tweet were of support which is exactly how they should be.
Got you in round 3 steve.

Despite what Twitter/X has turned into, at least moments like this give us hope it’s not a complete dumpster fire:

Gleason remains as humble as ever on top of being inspirational.
In January 2011, Gleason was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS. Since then, he’s been on a mission to show others with ALS that you can live and thrive with the disease.
He recently was the recipient of the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the ESPY’s for his heroic fight against ALS. Gleason delivered one of the most powerful speeches you’ll ever hear after accepting the award.
