Perhaps my view is based out of personal jealousy that I will never refine my skills (in officiating) to the level which Mr. James will achieve in his pursuit of basketball. Nonethless, I want to present this for discussion...
I applaud ESPN for airing the story about Jake Porter (Ohio Football player afflicted with a medical condition that disallowed him to be involved in contact, but was afforded to live a dream come true due to exemplary sportsmanship). Then I see ESPN deciding to nationally televise a HS game which features an ultra-talented hoops star. I believe this decision has have eroded another layer of purity and sportsmanship within the game, especially the footage which displayed Mr. James beating his chest in an unsporting "I am bad" demeanor.
Your comments please.
