George Strait, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year, proved once more why he is ‘King George,’ recently. It seems paralympian athlete Nikko Landeros, who was on the gold-medal winning USA Sledge Hockey Team, is a big fan of George, and actually got to see him in concert because of social media. He took to Facebook first to ask if anyone had tickets to the Strait concert they would sell him, and then he also tweeted. What happened next was a dream come true for him…and any fan. The King himself tweeted him and said he was putting two tickets to the show at will call in Denver for him and said, “Thank you for representing our country.” Nikko responded, “Thanks a million. You’re the man. Can’t wait to see you tonight. Bringing the #Gold #TeamGeorge #TheKing #America #TeamUSA.” Hope he had a great time at the show.
