HOUSTON – If you were hoping to take in the annual J.J. Watt Charity Classic, you’ll have to wait until next year.
The Houston Texans star tweeted Sunday that he will not be hosting the charity softball event this year, but that it would return next year.
The Charity Classic will return next year, as I have taken this year to focus on getting my leg/body ready for the season, the ongoing hurricane recovery efforts & our after-school athletic programs. I appreciate the incredible love & support and can’t wait for next year’s game! https://t.co/CNReRGpWTz
