FOX football announcer reveals on live TV: Ohio State’s J.K. Dobbins almost aborted, but became mom’s miracle

In a moment that had pro-life viewers reacting in amazement, FOX Sports announcer Gus Johnson let slip some pro-life personal history about Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins during the Ohio State vs. Michigan game today, with millions of viewers tuning in.

“J.K. Dobbins’ mom Mya became pregnant when she was 18 years old,” Johnson said. “She went to the doctor because she was thinking about aborting the baby, but changed her mind.”

“That baby turned out to be that young man, J.K. Dobbins,” Johnson continued, with the cameras showing Dobbins, “who she calls her miracle baby.”

The Ohio State Buckeyes soundly defeated the University of Michigan Wolverines 56 to 27, with Dobbins putting forth his personal best. For The Win writes of Dobbins’ performance today:

The Wolverines couldn’t figure out how to consistently contain him — despite even taking off one of his shoes mid-game — and once he broke away from defenders, he was gone. With his standout performance in the regular-season finale, he reminded the college football world why he’s a Heisman Trophy candidate (albeit an outside one in a very crowd field that includes two of his teammates).

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

He finished Saturday’s rivalry game with 31 carries for a career-high 211 yards and four touchdowns, while adding two catches for 49 yards.

With an incredible 33-yard touchdown run in the middle of the fourth quarter, he notched his first career four-touchdown game.

While not everyone grows up to be a star football player, every child has value, even before he or she is born. Every child has limitless potential, and circumstances or assumptions — or even poor prenatal diagnoses — should never determine the value of a human being’s life. Thankfully, Dobbins’ mother realized this before it was too late for both her and her son.

Hopefully, the story of J.K. Dobbins, his mom Mya’s “miracle baby,” simply stated over the course of several seconds today by a FOX announcer on a live broadcast, will save more lives than anyone might have imagined.
