‘You and Ciara Are Raising Him Well’: Fans Admire Russell Wilson Showing Stepson Future the Ropes In This ‘Awesome’ Football Video

Russell Wilson shared a video of him post working out with his stepson Future and choreographer Jamaica Craft’s son Kingston. The Denver Broncos quarterback switched positions up and let the two boys take his job as quarterback while he caught the football.

Future Zahir was first up and he followed the instructions of his stepfather who told him to shift, “up” and “back.” His turn finished with him tossing the football to the 33-year-old and switching places with Kingston.

“You guys are the cutest things I’ve ever seen” 

Russell Wilson has always shown his love for his wife and his family no matter what the public had to say about him. Though some people may brand him as “soft” the 64,000 liked video’s comments section was filled with nothing but adoration. 

“How can anyone hate on this man? A great player and an even better father”

“How can you hate on this man and not bring up the type of guy he is to his kids that’s not biological his kid but is his whole life”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
