Texas Safety, Michael Taaffe, Wears A Tie To Honor Texas Flood Victims From Camp Mystic: “Way More Important Than A Game Of Football”

Michael Taaffe, a defensive back for the Texas Longhorns at the University of Texas, showed up to media day wearing a tribute to the victims of the Texas Floods, and specifically to the little girls and workers at Camp Mystic.

The rapid flooding of the Guadalupe River earlier this month has become a statewide tragedy, claiming the lives of dozens and dozens of innocent Texans, including many young children who attend summer camps near its shores. Since then, many prominent people across the state have come forward to offer condolences and donate towards the relief effort, one of those people being Michael Taaffe.

In an interview with CBS Sports, Taaffe is pictured wearing a grey suit with a burnt orange tie to represent his team. On the tie are the embroidered initials of twenty-seven victims that had their lives taken by this disaster. All the twenty-seven initials belonged to campers at Camp Mystic.
