Keaton Jones has taken the internet by storm. When picked up by his mother to be taken home early from school, Jones asked his mother to film him. The young boy then revealed that he was afraid to go to lunch at school, as he was being picked on by his classmates. After having milk poured on him and food stuffed down his clothes, Jones had enough and decided to let the world know. Now the world is giving a heart warming response.
People from around the world have been offering their support to Jones after the video, as seen above, went viral on the internet. In the world of sports, professional athletes have taken the internet by storm. NBA legend LeBron James took to Twitter to let his voice be heard and to give the boy his support. However, the NFL world is also speaking up. Professional football players Tyler Byrd, Antonio Cromartie, Bernard Blake, Delanie walker and Jarrett Guarantano have all taken to social media to speak up.
Beyond that, a hoard of celebrities and actors have also offered their support. Katy Perry, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Ryan Seacrest and Gabriel Iglesias are just to name a few of those that have shown their support. Of course, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was one of the first organizations to bring light to Jones’ message.
A bevy of reigning and former champions of the promotion have voiced their thoughts, as well as ring girls, announcers and the president of the UFC. From UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, Paige VanZant, acclaimed octagon announcer Bruce Buffer, UFC President Dana White, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier are some of those that decided to offer their support.

I'm of a different mind set on Bullies. I grew up a tall, gangly, glass of water. So uncoordinated….. I'd trip over my own feet.??????. I started getting bullied Fast forward a little… I started standing up for myself…. "just because I was tired of getting picked on" One day I stood up for myself. Then……………. I did it again….. and again until my friends started asking me for help with their bullies. I got beat up sometimes……. but, I never cared. Then, I started winning…. Then…….I started hunting.???????. I'm not saying to go hunting, or advocating violence.I am however; advocating for Parents to take an active role in preventative bullying measures, by talking to your children, enrolling them in some kind of martial arts. #OneChampionship #Heavyweight #World #Champion #Verafied #AllianceGymPH
