It seems like the kid who got snubbed by Cowboys DeMarcus Lawrence is getting a happy ending after all.
Last week, this video showing Lawrence denying a little kid an autograph because he was wearing a Giants jersey went viral on Twitter.
Lawrence took to Twitter and said he wasnât sorry for dissing the kid.
The Cowboys defensive end then spoke with the USA Today and tried to turn to his snubbing of the kid into a motivational tactic.

âThe ânoâsâ I got leading up to my career and being able to not get on the field with my teammates â I think that helped me out a lot in understanding where I want to be and whatâs really important to me,â Lawrence said.

Lawrence sees now the video showed âsadness on the kidâs face,â he said Wednesday from his locker after practice, and for that âI apologize.â But the Cowboysâ captain says he was âshockedâ at what he views as disproportionate criticism and believes it misses the point.
âYou canât just walk around life and think you have the privilege of getting everything you want,â Lawrence said. âWhen you hear no, you have to be able to accept that no and move on. Maybe that no led you to going to the next person and you get their autograph. Itâs just like a door salesman: Youâre going to get some noâs when you go and sell insurance at peopleâs doors. Theyâre going to tell you no, no, no. If you keep coming home to your wife with a no, sheâs eventually going to leave you. âCause youâre not bringing no money to the table or food.
âItâs all about getting back out there and keep trying, bro.â
According to TMZ Sports Saquon Barkley saw the video and has now invited to fly the kid and his family to New York to go to a Giants game.

Well, Barkley saw the whole situation ⊠and guess what??? HE WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH THE KID NOW!!!
Sources close to the situation tell us Barkley reached out to the Bautistas this week and invited them to their Nov. 10 game against the Jets in New York.
Weâre told Barkley is flying them out and will give them a meet-and-greet experience as well as VIP treatment at MetLife Stadium.
Oh, and weâre told the kid will almost certainly get some autographs from the team too!!!
Pretty cool move by Saquon.
