Sportsmanship is often lost on the game.
Then stories like these surface.
High School basketball teams faced off in Wisconsin. Only one player was missing its captain. His mother had passed away earlier that morning. He showed up late, looking to play ball as therapy. Problem was, he wasn't on the roster. So to get him in the game his team had to take a technical foul. Although the other team tried to fight the call, the refs said that by rule, they had to.
Solution? The team intentionally missed the two freebies. A player named McNeal, stepped in, volunteering to miss the free throws. This is what the game (and life) is about. Fairness, and supporting your peers in dire times.
