James โ€˜Radioโ€™ Kennedy, football fixture who inspired a Hollywood movie, dies at 73

Read full article: James โ€˜Radioโ€™ Kennedy, football fixture who inspired a Hollywood movie, dies at 73

James โ€œRadioโ€ Kennedy, the mentally disabled man whose importance to a South Carolina football team inspired the Hollywood movie โ€œRadio,โ€ died early Sunday at the age of 73, T.L. Kennedy earned the nickname โ€œRadioโ€ in the mid-1960s when he began to show up at Hannaโ€™s football field with a transistor radio, according to Sheila Hilton, the former principal at Hanna. โ€œHe became a fixture at football practices, standing passively and watching, until one day when he began to mimic the coachesโ€™ signals and tried his hand at yelling out commands,โ€ Hilton wrote. That article was then adapted into the 2003 movie "Radio" that starred Cuba Gooding Jr. as Radio and Ed Harris as the football coach who took a liking to him. Hilton wrote that Radio's story had a simple message: "love and compassion can change lives."
