Sports At It's Best and Worst

If you pay any attention to the world of sports, well to the world in general last week, you know that Lance Armstrong finally admitted to using PED's (Performance Enhancing Drugs) during his tenure as the world's greatest cyclist and that Manti Teo has been involved in some really bizarre online relationship.  These two stories hit ESPN and all the other networks with a vengance last week.  Lance went on OWN and sat down to tell Oprah everything, Notre Dame spent the week defending their star player, and most of us shook our heads in disbelief.  One story illustrates all that is wrong with sports, the other was just baffling.  This was not sports at its best. 

Then I found an amazing video on Facebook about Sports Illustrated Sports Kids of the Year and my faith in sports was redeemed.  Watch it for a few minutes and you will be in tears.  It is inspirational, uplifting and shows what sports should be about!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J5UqYRxY48

So, after last week when so many things were wrong with sports it was amazing and uplifting to see what is right!
