The Kansas Comet is returning to the campus that launched his career in order to sign copies of “Sayers: My Life and Times,” a biographical look at his life and his career with the Chicago Bears, as well as the lessons he learned and continues to live by.
Namely, having respect for the game and giving back to your community; words that could very well save the world if more professional athletes followed his lead instead of worrying about making it rain.
Sayers will be signing his book at the Kansas University bookstore between the hours of 1pm and 3pm. The Topeka Capital Journal has more:
Sayers will donate 100 percent of royalties from sales of the book to the Gale Sayers Center, a not-for-profit organization. The KU Bookstores also will contribute a portion of each sale of the book that day.
Sayers, if you didn’t know, was the youngest inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Stumble it!
