Sometimes there is a lot of negative attention on things athletes do and not enough positive attention. The Brazilian soccer team was playing South Africa in London in a friendly ahead of the 2014 World Cup when a young fan ran onto the field.
Instead of security taking the kid off, Brazilian superstar Neymar posed for a picture with the fan and introduced him to the rest of the team.
