Vincent Taylor needed help, and Shawn Britt was there.
So when Britt needed help with the Special Olympics, he returned the favor.
Britt provided assistance when Taylor as a child relocated to San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his family’s home and chased them from New Orleans.
Britt is the program director for Special Olympics Area 20, and Taylor served as coach/referee/equipment manager for the football team.
So no surprise, then, that Taylor had a whistle around his neck as Dolphins rookies welcomed Special Olympics Florida athletes from Broward and Miami-Dade counties to their training facility for some flag football games.
