The Florida A&M Rattlers have named Trayvon Martin's father an honorary captain after a moving speech he gave the team on Sunday, coach Earl Holmes told the Orlando Sentinel.
Tracy Martin will perform the pregame coin toss for FAMU's season opener against Mississippi Valley State on Sept. 1, as part of the honors, the Orlando newspaper reported.
"[We] talked and I told him I'd love him to talk to the team," Holmes said. "He came out and he was very, very encouraging. ...
"[He] got a standing ovation from our guys. He talked about just persevering and told the guys to keep on pushing through the hard times. The message he shared with the kids was very positive and they were very responsive."
Holmes said his players were inspired by Martin's speech.
"He had some inspiring words and the guys played off of that," Holmes said, according to the Sentinel. "And we're going to keep pushing for him and his foundation. He'll be an honorary captain for us this year and he's welcome anytime."
Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot to death on Feb. 26, 2012, as he was returning to a gated community in Sanford, Fla. Jurors found George Zimmerman not guilty last month of second-degree murder.
Tracy Martin has started a charity in the wake of his son's death.
"I think what he's doing with the foundation is big and it speaks volumes, and I want the football team and FAMU Nation to be part of that," Holmes said.

George Zimmerman AUCTIONS OFF the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin: Acquitted killer describes pistol as 'an American firearm icon' and starts the bidding at $5,000
George Zimmerman is auctioning off the gun he used to kill unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin. The former neighborhood watch captain, who was acquitted of murder and manslaughter in 2013 for shooting the 17-year-old dead, will open an auction for the Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm on Thursday morning. Bids start at $5,000, after the gun was recently returned to Zimmerman in working order by the authorities.
Guesser will buy the gun and do us all a favour and shoot himself with it.
Or we will just have to wait until one of Obama's drones blows him clean out of his cellar together with his sandals and prayer mat.

That's a horrible post.....maybe you should just stick to copy and paste.
The sick racist rubes who support this disgrace of life will drive the bidding up over 100G's. I'm sure Gassy will be in the bidding. Maybe he'll hock his yacht.
Exactly especially when he added these lines to the description of the firearm(Sick FucK).
The firearm is fully functional as the attempts by the Department of Justice on behalf of B. Hussein Obama to render the firearm inoperable were thwarted by my phenomenal Defense Attorney… I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight Black Lives Matter violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”
The original auction site delisted the auction from it's site.but another auction site decided to list the auction after the sick fuck Zimmerman contacted them.
Great post by Gas Man
Yup, I called him out here first.
Lets see the facts.
1) Guesser claims to be a Jew
2) He claims to have lost many friends on 9-11
3) He claims to have worked at the WTC
4) He was not at work that day
5) He was mad at Islam for a day or two
6) He now defends Islam at every turn
7) He compares Trump to Hitler
8) He compares everyone to Hitler
9) He dogs Christianity
10) He defends Islam - who are in a neverending war w the Jewish people
11) He posts memes of Jesus nailed to the cross that say " Nailed It"
12) Anyone who wants to secure the border to keep our citizens safe are "Islamaphobes"
13) A holocaust survivor compared Trump to Hitler is fact - even though Trump wants its citizens to keep their guns and a multitude of other contrasts
14) Trump wants to close our borders to keep us safe - he is an Islamphobe too
15) He acts as if Islam is a peaceful religion
16) White terrorists are more of a threat than Islam
Seems pretty simple, either Guesser is a lying piece of shit and is a Muslim himself, or he is the worst kind of Jew on the planet...a traitor to his faith and a Muslim sympathizer.
I'll have to refer to my best friend who is Jewish and get his take on Guesser's Fatwah. Our families are having dinner tomorrow night.
Ill try to find out what the Jewish term is for those who betray their faith.

It is now, several friends you lost. You are a barefaced liar. You lost no friends 9/11. It is disrespectful to all those who died and their friends and families, to be such a bare faced liar.
Your Muslim sympathies are perverse, you condemn Obama drone strikes because they are effective at killing your Muslim brethren. You call the Iran deal good because it favours your Muslim kin. You call the American sailors who cowardly surrendered to weaker force brave because you gloat mockingly.
You can make these 3 facts 17, 18 and 19.
All fingers point at Guesser being a liar.

Considering the number of sickos down here, I'm never surprised when one of them lowers the bar. In a place where sending Ricin to the POTUS and Mayor of NYC is approved, kid touching is just boys being boys, Welching on ban bets is shrugged off, racist killers like George Zimmerman are applauded, Stalking and posting Personal informatio is laughed at, Proven lies about the POTUS's birth and Religion are constantly regurgitated, etc., etc., etc., the bar is already too low for Adam Ant to limbo under.
