There's No "I" In Team

Growing up in Wisconsin, I had a hightened exposure to legendary Green Bay Packer football coach Vince Lombardy. Now, 'ol Vince had a famous quote, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." I cannot speak for him - he's been long gone - but I'd like to think that he would be a bit put off by the way this "win at all costs" philosophy has spiraled out of control. The attitude that holds our sports figures in such God like esteem will probably not change in my life time, but there are some ethical aspects to keep in mind. We reward our athletes more than our educators. That's life. But fair play needs to be kept in mind. Not adhearing to this ruins it for us all. Now, GO TEAM, GO.
