serieAmerica » Il Capitano Fa la Pace

I don’t like to make super-brief posts, but I just had to share THIS.

How great is that? Totti haters, say what you want; THAT was a classy move.

(Update: Check out the comments. The Guardian made it sound like Totti’s initiative, but it wasn’t, although he, Spaletti, and De Rossi were willing participants. I still say it’s a great gesture, and if you watch the vid, you can see that the Giallorossi trio made the recipient very happy.)

Sorry, it was not Totti’s initiative. It was an Italian TV show called Le Iene.
Last year, when the girl was hit on the head by some stupid policeman, the guys from Le Iene interviewed a representative of the Police Department, who said they would buy Carly a new camera. After months, Le Iene called Carly and found out she hadnt received a camera. So they bought her a new one, and went to Formello to shoot videos in which Spalletti, De Rossi and Totti apologize and invite her over to Rome for the match, sending her 2 tickets.
Vid is here.

Sorry.

Thanks. Mr. Pantucci.

Still, a great gesture nonetheless… and Totti and co. could’ve refused, but didn’t.

By the way, for some reason the video wouldn’t play for me on the La Lene website. Here’s YouTube link for anybody that has trouble.

Well, being a Totti hater, I was a little upset hearing that he actually did something nice for a change. But reading the real story and what La Iene did, I feel much better now. Kudos for them doing it, though.

It’s OK that you’re a Totti hater, Michelle I won’t hold it against you!
