Athletes pay their respects to late Chadwick Boseman
Athletes from across sports have taken to social media following the death of Chadwick Boseman. The 43-year-old, who starred as Jackie Robinson in "42" and the Marvel blockbuster "Black Panther," died on Friday following a four-year battle with colon cancer.
I met you at the premier of 42 in Pittsburgh in 2013. Even though you were in the spotlight and all eyes were on you, I remember you saying, โIโm that one thatโs starstruck by all of these athletes here.โ Thatโs the man you were. Humble. You will be missed. RIP Chadwick Boseman pic.twitter.com/ypJc1yUq9p
