This is what sports is supposed to be about
I know this sort of act seems small. In a world full of pampered prima donnas, who cares what happens in a Division II softball programs in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference?
If you have a couple minutes, you'll find the story of Sara Tucholsky, Mallory Holtman, and a rare act of sportsmanship (or is it sportspersonship?) terrificly inspirational. I won't give away the ending, but it demonstrates an amazing demonstration of grace and selflessness that is too rare in sports these days. [Via Fazed]

This is what sports is about every day. For this grand act to get noticed is natural. And we see a lack of this spirit in professional sports. But in real sports, played by amateurs every day all over the world, character is tested and enhanced in a million smaller moments all the time.
