New York Jets center Nick Mangold let everyone know on Twitter that he is off to London to watch his sister Holley compete in the Olympics.
On Sunday, Holley Mangold will compete in women's superheavyweight weightlifting at the Olympic Games.
Nick Mangold tweeted this on Saturday morning.
Nick previously said he would not leave training camp to watch his sister in London, but coach Rex Ryan said he would guilt trip his starting center into going.
"I'm laying the guilt trip on him, and everything else," Ryan said. "And you know what? His teammates understand, and they're pushing him as well. It's not just me."
