The Tennessee Titans’ home, Nissan Stadium, was lit up blue on Thursday night to honor the people who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over 150 buildings across the United States joined in on the showing of appreciation for those who are putting their lives on the line to fight the outbreak.
As an organization, the Titans donated $50,000 to help in recovery efforts for the COVID-19 outbreak in Nashville. Cornerback Malcolm Butler also made donations to help both the city of Nashville and his hometown of Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Former Titans defensive back, Myron Rolle, is personally on the front lines, as he’s a neurosurgery resident at Mass. General and Harvard Medical School who has seen his unit turned into a COVID-19 floor.
Despite the outbreak, the NFL has decided to proceed with the 2020 NFL Draft, albeit in a virtual format. The league will hold a “Draft-A-Thon” to help raise funds for charity, also.
