Leonard Said:

did you see this article? why doesn't the media cover more stories like this?

We Answered:

Yeah, I just read this too. It's a great story! The only problem I have with it is that it describes a "rare" instance of sportsmanship. I agree there are far too many instances of "win at any cost" in high school athletics -- pushed by over-zealous coaches and parents who think their kids have professional potential -- but at most small school sporting events I've attended, I see many examples of excellent sportsmanship exhibited by the kids, often in the face of extreme belligerence shown by adults in the audience. But I digress...these schools showed a lot of class.

Terry Said:

In this world of sports where sportsmanship seems to be rare now isn't it nice to know that it still exists?

It is SOOOOO nice for a change to read a story and the media puts teenagers in a POSITIVE light.

I ask of everyone's forgiveness, but it's like adults all the time talk so much about how horrible the youth is, and so focused on that that they fail to take enough time to think about the positives of the youths.
I mean wisdom, flaws, and goodness comes from ALL ages, and it would be wrong to stereotype each age group. I also know lots of people don't like admitting when someone younger, ESPECIALLY much younger, can posses more wisdom than them. I will admit, I have a few teenage contacts on here I can learn from. There are some teens and young kids who can put some adults to shame with wisdom. I once read a story about a single mom who got laid off or something, and she could not provide Christmas presents for her young daughters. They told their mom "It's ok!" Yet, heck forbid some adults have to go without some piece of expensive material.

Thanks for sharing this story, and let us adults remember to ALWAYS take more time focusing on the good things in youth. I don't want to sound mean or anything, but there are adults who can actually learn some wisdom from some of the youths.

Is there any trucking companies willing to hire a person with a felony of four years or less?

We Answered:

All states have their own requirements, but yes you can find a job as a driver with a felony, as long as the felony does not include a motor vehicle; a crime using drugs; driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol; or hit-and-run driving that resulted in injury or death.

It made Yahoo headlines. As a result, I suspect that millions of people saw that story.
