I just finished a great article by ESPN columnist Rick Reilley. I love to read his stuff. He is a gifted writer. (as I listen to Cartagrapher by E.S. POSTHUMUS...now that is some fine stuff right there! Two brothers who write crazy stuff!!)
His article was titled: The Misbehavior of Athletes.
He gave examples of pro athletes who have undermined the public trust and cheated their sport or spouse. Examples: Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Tiger Woods, Gilbert Arenas.
For every misguided athlete he listed its counterpoint: Ken Griffey Jr., Jack Nicklaus, etc.
He chose to focus upon the glass half full picture when it comes to athletes whom we have a tendency to place upon pedestals.
One reality from his great article is this: for all the bad that seems to happen in our day, there is just as much good happening all around us.
The sun is still coming up in the East. There is sufficient oxygen to breathe. There is someone who loves us completely and there are people that want to be our friends.
There IS good all around us!
