Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota talked about the devastating wildfires in Hawaii on Saturday night. Mariota was born in Honolulu.
He addressed the devastation at the podium.
"First and foremost – just thinking about the families and everyone that’s been affected – football is just a game, and when you look at it from a different perspective … my heart goes out to them and everybody back home," Mariota said."Hawaii’s such a small place, such a small community that everyone has family or friends that have been affected by it. All I can say is that we’re thinking about them, we’re praying for them.
"Please, if you have an opportunity to help donate or help support – it’s bad [in Maui] – just appreciate the love and support and always think about them whenever I’m away." Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota speaks to reporters after a preseason game against the Ravens in Baltimore, Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023.
Mariota grew up in Hawaii before he played college football at Oregon and later became the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 overall draft pick in 2015. His father is of Samoan descent.
