Jaguars' Long-Snapper Matt Overton Wants to Buy and Donate Colts' Season Tickets From Angry Fans

Jacksonville Jaguars long-snapper Matt Overton got his start in the NFL in Indianapolis, where he was a teammate of Andrew Luck for his first five seasons.

After the 29-year-old Luck announced that his retirement from the NFL, a hoard of angry Colts fans petulantly demanded that they get their season tickets refunded. Overton, trying to make the best of a bad situation, offered to buy the season tickets off of disgruntled Colts fans and donate them to charity, specifically the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Droves of Colts fans have requested their money back, either because they are mad at Luck for having the audacity to decide he doesn't want to worry about re-lacerating his kidney, or because they don't like the situation and direction the franchise is headed in.

Overton seems somewhat sympathetic, and is willing to divert these tickets to somewhere where they can be of more use as opposed to just refunding them.

To any angry Colts season ticket holders who are seeking a refund,

I’d be more than happy to buy your season tix off of you & donate them to @RileyChildrens patients & their families. I’m serious.

All love,

~Matt

Some ugly takes by controversial people have come out of the woodwork following Luck's retirement, but Overton's gesture is sure to warm your heart. Hopefully some Colts fans take him up on the offer.
