Quote from the article:
“””Linebacker Bobby Wagner was equally accepting of Thomas’ gesture. In fact, he smiled when first told about it after the game. That doesn’t mean he thought it was warranted. But given the circumstances and Earl’s mental state in the moment, he did think it was understandable.
“When guys get hurt, and when crazy things happen, there’s a lot of emotions. There’s a lot of things that go through somebody’s mind and somebody’s heart,” Wagner said. “It might not be right. It might not be the best emotions, but it’s good to have emotions. Let him have emotions for whatever it is.”
