Beyond Sport, Beyond Labels, It's About Community

A friend sent me this video yesterday and I enjoy the story it tells. Community and teamwork is not always about winning, but respecting those who encourage us to win. This means inclusion and when it is supported by both teams, it is even more meaningful.

The moral is we all deserve a right to play, to have a moment, to be respected, and to be part of the team. The coach's integrity trickled down to his players in the way a teacher's maturity can model for students in his or her class.

Those in the stadium, that day, will never forget this moment; This is a greater victory.
