What's wrong with sports:
Read this. How selfish do you have to be to score 113 points in a game? So much for teamwork. At the same time, how is it sportsmanlike to outscore the other team by 105 points and still have starters in the game. It was just another example of greed and ego taking over a sporting event.

Read this. This kid was told that he was too small to play and he wasn't able to make the team in junior high. He loved the game so much that he asked to be the team's manager. So through junior and senior high, he helped however he could. It came down to the last home game of his senior season. The coach decided to suit him up to possibly play because of all his hard work. With four minutes left in the game, his coach put him in. He proceeded to score 20 points in the last four minutes including 6 three pointers. The crowd went wild and so did his teammates. For one moment of a night, a small, autistic senior was exalted by everyone including all the popular people. Talk about the least being the greatest.

I love the story from Greece Athena High School. It was on the local news here in NY for several nights. Each time the anchors would tear up. It was incredible to see the attitude of the audience and the team. They all cheered when he got on the court. They cheered when he missed his first shots.
I love stories like this.
