Real Hero’s
Been getting a bit annoyed about this whole LeBron thing and the sporting world in general. I mean come on folks these players are just that, players. Granted they are very talented at what they do, which is……entertaining us by playing games that we did as kids. From what I’ve been hearing on some radio and TV stations folks tag these players as “their heros”. Personally I think that is a bit over the top. These folks are ordinary people who are highly trained and very well paid at their particular talent. Yes some of them are very good citizens who give back to the people who helped them attain their current status, but I guess when I think of a hero sports stars fall a ways down the list. For me, heros include folks like those serving our counrty in the armed forces, police officers, doctors, teachers, pastors, and a little known but much appreciated group of folks known as volunteers. These people are my heros. They are the ones making a real difference in our quality of life. Next time you come across one of the people who make a real difference in your world let them know how much you appreciate their services.
