In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.

@atrupar And they have no idea why or what is occurring for those people for them to be on SNAP. Maybe she needs to lay off the food for a bit and donate it to some people in need.
BREAKING: Ten days after North Dakota Republicans voted against providing free lunch to hungry low-income students they pass legislation to give themselves free money to pay for their own meals — meaning they are literally taking food out of the mouths of children to save themselves a few bucks. RT IF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SHOULD BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE!
Wow. The three Tennessee lawmakers who are facing expulsion for simply standing with gun safety activists are met with overwhelming & uproarious cheers this morning. People see right through what Republicans are doing & they will regret this.
This is beyond party or partisanship. This degree of corruption is shocking - almost cartoonish. Thomas must be impeached.
Barring some dramatic change, this is what the Roberts court will be known for: rank corruption, erosion of democracy, and the stripping of human rights.
BREAKING: AOC calls for right-wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be impeached after it was revealed that for 20 years he has been accepting private jet and superyacht travel as well as luxury resort vacations from a Republican megadonor — she says the "degree of corruption is shocking" and "almost cartoonish" and says that if nothing is done this court will be remembered for: "rank corruption, erosion of democracy, and the stripping of human rights." RT TO DEMAND THAT CLARENCE THOMAS BE IMPEACHED!
@Morning_Joe Are you going to talk about anything but TFG today? There’s a lot going on in this country that deserves attention. How much are you going to talk about Porn Star fallout? Kansas, Tennessee, Idaho, etc.
