Blind Former USC Football Player Shares Hilarious Tweet Roasting Awful Broncos-Colts NFL Game

Jake Olson’s football journey is nothing short of remarkable.

Olson was born with retinoblastoma, a cancer of the retina. He lost his left eye at 10 months old. But he still retained partial vision and grew up a huge USC fan. Then-USC coach Pete Carroll embraced Olson, inviting him to practices and onto the sidelines for USC games.

Olson was forced to have his right eye removed at the age of 12, losing his remaining vision. But Carroll kept him involved and around the team.

That nurtured a love of the game and Olson eventually ended up playing himself, learning to long snap. He’d later walk on to the Trojans’ team in 2015. In 2017, he served as the snapper or the final extra point attempt in a USC victory over Western Michigan.

He earned Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors and the moment served as an inspiration for many across the country. He’d later snap in another game against Oregon State and was a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year award.

Olson now serves as a motivational speaker and, apparently, a part-time comedian. He was following along with Thursday night’s atrocity between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos and offered up perhaps the tweet of the year.

“If a genie granted me one game to watch with my eyesight back, but it had to be this game, should I accept it,” he asked with a poll attached.

Hilariously, the answers were a resounding “no, too ugly.”

Olson then suggested Amazon founder Jeff Bezos offer up a promo for fans to watch the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders in next week’s Thursday Night Football game.

Everyone who watched Thursday night’s game can attest to just how awful it was. But no one could’ve imagined that it was awful that even a blind man could see it.
