Saquon Barkley gives tickets to young Giants fan insulted by Demarcus Lawrence

Following a Week 1 game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys — a game that saw Jurrah’s team dismantle Big Blue, 35-17 — an already heartbroken young Giants fans sought to ease his pain by autograph seeking.

Unfortunately for the fan, he ran head-first into Cowboys defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, who not only refused to sign an autograph for the child, but mocked his jersey, laughed in his face and later told he and other Giants fans to “suck it up.”

The fan was visibly upset by the classless snub, but thanks to superstar running back Saquon Barkley, this story will have a happy ending.

After seeing Lawrence rip the child’s heart out, Barkley managed to track he and his family down, offering them tickets to the Giants’ Week 10 game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on November 10, reports TMZ Sports.

Not only will Barkley supply the 11-year-old and his family with game tickets, he will fly them out from McAllen, Texas and give them a VIP game experience that included a meet-and-greet with Giants players.

Now that is what we call class. Barkley has enough for both he and Lawrence, and that’s not saying much since Demarcus has none to speak of.
