Álex Txikon: “Cam Jordan is like a wild boar”

Cam Jordan (33 years old) is a defender of the New Orleans Saints and has spent the weekend in Euskadi with his family. Was in the match between Athletic and Real, he cut logs and played with stones in the Plaza de los Fueros in Vitoria and today he has learned to play ball in Donostia with Erik Jaka. The initiative came from “Cien Yards”, the American football podcast of Cadena SER and has had the support of the Basque Government. Lakua’s intention is to promote the Basque Country in the United States and, incidentally, make this sport visible in our Autonomous Community.

“I couldn’t have picked a better game to watch,” Jordan said at San Mamés on Saturday afternoon. The NFL player saw the locals win 2-0 against Real Sociedad. As he could not be otherwise, he tasted Basque gastronomy, ate pintxos and always drank surrounded by professionals from the NFL Network television, he lived the weekend as one more Basque. The result of the report can be seen on NFL Game Pass and on the official YouTube channel of the National Football League.

On Sunday morning he was with Álex Txikon in the Plaza de Los Fueros in Vitoria. When he saw himself with an ax between his feet, he recognized that “it was not the smartest thing he had done in his life.” He played with the stones and dared to cut a trunk together with the aizkolari and mountaineer from Lemoa. “He seemed like a very nice guy, very involved with the project. Physically, Cam Jordan is like a wild boar, a force of nature”, commented Txikon, who on Monday paid a visit to the Basauri prison.

Precisely, Jordan has closed his cycle by visiting San Sebastián and playing handball with Erik Jaka, a First Class professional. The pintxos around the Casco Viejo and the visit to the most emblematic places of the Gipuzkoan capital have closed their journey through Donostia. Curiously, most of the events over the weekend have not been heavily promoted since we are in the midst of the pre-election period and no party or politician can benefit from their image with public money. There was no presentation press conference or statement about Jordan’s activity in the Basque Country.
