NEW RULE
Sports merit compassion.
For Hurricane Ike victims, the Houston Rockets supplied meals, toiletries, and water. On Friday, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) excoriated the New York Yankees. His motivation? Their stadium’s cost. $1.3 billion.
Perpetually, athletes and franchises are scorched. They are assailed and condemned. Often, they deserve this. However, their munificence merits praise. Kucinich’s tantrum received columns. Houston’s philanthropy received paragraphs. Why? Callous, ridiculous perception. Professional athletes are millionaires. Generosity is required.
The aforesaid is both correct and incorrect. Athletes are wealthy. However, kindness still rates recognition. Ordinary citizens volunteer. They receive gratitude. Athletes should also.
