Joe Flacco is the quarterback of the Ravens. He was on the 98 Rock Morning Show Tuesday. He will be doing the Polar Bear Plunge at Sandy Point State Park on January 24. He was involved with the Special Olympics in Delaware and now will be involved at Sandy Point State Park. Ravens’ offensive tackle Adam Terry took the plunge last year and he has invited Flacco to attend this year. Terry is a “season super plunger.”
I think this is a great cause for Terry and Flacco to be involved in. Many people look up to them and they can influence others to join. The Special Olympics are sports oriented and it is great to have Ravens’ football players there to be involved. Candace Whiting is a Special Olympics Athlete from Fredrick. She asked, Flacco to go in with her “five times.” She says, “For them to come and be apart of it. It’s huge.” I think Terry and Flacco are great role models. I watched a video in class called, "When Billy Broke His Head" which shows how physically and mentally disabled people are mistreated. The Special Olympics is a great association that gets people like Billy Golfus involved.
What do you think about the event?

i agree that it is great that joe Flacco is doing the plunge. He could very well just say no ill donate money instead because he does have money but the fact that he is engaging in it is great because it gets other people excited for it. It also might bring out more people that are Ravens fans. Its a great thing to see him doin it.
I think it is great that Flacco and Terry are giving back. Being a part of your community is important when you become a role model. This actually gives me a new found respect for Flacco.
