Sportsmanship:

The video I'm posting today seems like one of the ultimate shows of sportsmamship. Giving a young man with Downs Syndrome the chance to score a touchdown seems like the ultimate type of class, right? Why do I keep feeling like it was more pity than class? The coach will only let him play when the team is in an impossibly bad spot. He asks the other team to let him through untouched. The kid ran the play, let him say he played the game, not got babied.

All I'm saying is, is coddling the same as sportsmanship?

And here is the rest of it.
