Saw "The Jackie robinson Story" today. Got me to wondering |
|
Is there any real heroes that are sports figures today? I don't watch sports like I once did, but I could not really have any leap right to mind. One person I admire greatly who is still out there is C. Vivian Stringer.
maybe I am just an old coot. I grew up in an age of Jackie Robinson, Bill Russell, Muhammed Ali, Henry Aaron, Billie Jean King as examples. The few I see put up as examples today are often the christian athlete. Or tell me I am nuts and go yell at the kids for getting on my grass.

1. Like Politics, Music, and Movies, Sports have become Corporatized |

Everyone involved makes so much money that they go with the flow and nobody makes waves.
