This isn’t nearly the first time he’s done something along these lines.
Via Breitbart:
When Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson spied a U.S. soldier huffing his bag to a seat in coach on a recent flight to Seattle, the nice guy QB immediately upgraded the solder to a seat in first class.
Wilson has a business relationship with Alaska Airlines so when he saw the soldier headed down the aisle he instantly thought that he could give the soldier a happier, more comfortable flight.
The soldier was flabbergasted and jumped on Twitter to tell the world of the kindness Wilson extended.
Russell Wilson was on my flight back to seattle and he brought me up to first class. Mad respect! #clutch
