One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

six-year-old Joseph Armento, a New York Giants fan, was so upset that running back Brandon Jacobs left in free agency to the 49ers that he asked his mom to mail him his last $3.36 in hopes of keeping his favorite player with the Giants.
...
According to the Sacramento Bee, Jacobs took Armento and his brother to the Jump On In bounce house in New Jersey today now that Jacobs is back on the east coast to gather some belongings. He gave the boys along with his own son a day out but he also repaid his debt to Joseph with interest in the form of a $5 dollar bill and a signed Giants helmet.
...
“I’m at a point in my career when people have stopped believing in me and not believing that I can still play. But that’s not the case. Joe believes in me, gave me a lot of confidence and a lot of want-to. And I’m ready to go. I can’t wait until the season starts.”

After receiving the initial letter, Jacobs reached out to Joseph’s mom Julie to set something up so that he could do something special for his biggest fan. “When we first spoke, he said that he was genuinely touched by the letter, that it almost brought him to tears,” Julie said. “He said it came at just the right time for him. He told me he really wanted to get out there with the kids,” she said. “He really wanted to enjoy it, and he did. It was amazing.”
“War is the remedy our enemies have chosen. Other simple remedies were within their choice. You know it and they know it, but they wanted war, and I say let us give them all they want.”
― William Tecumseh Sherman
