Re: Nice story on Arkansas prep football player and a display of gamesmanship
Not sure I'd call this gamesmanship.
1)The game was out of hand, so why is the star player even in the game?
2)If the kid really wanted to be a good sport, why not just kneel when he received the kickoff and then...
A man has the right to change his name to vatever he vants to change it to. And if a man vants to be called Muhammed Ali, godammit this is a free country, you should respect his vishes, and call the man Muhammed Ali!
The fact that Plaschke wrote about it just kills the lede of the story mentioned above. That's one of the problems I had with it, even if Plaschke hadn't written about it. If a story is unique, there is no need in saying it, especially in the lede.
Yeah, this happens in sports all the time. But it also happens in ordinary life all the time. People with money get away with things that people without money would never. I hate when we limit this theory to athletes.
