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.
Must watch, not just for the logic, but for the entitled certainty with which this lawmaker insists his illogical opinion trumps real lives (the Second Amendment did not protect individual rights; it restrained the state. Today’s claim of individual rights is novel).
“What you’re telling me is that you don’t mind infringing on free speech to protect children from [drag shows] but when it comes to kids who have died from guns, you don’t give a flying f.”
I don't think Jesus would spend $20 million to advertise himself at the Super Bowl, especially considering we all already know about him. I think he would say "yo boys, give that money to the poor."
This is the Black National Anthem that Republicans are so outraged over. It's called "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and they want it removed from the #SuperBowl. They can't stand it being taught to kids in school!
Whatever you do, don't retweet it. It might upset GOP ears!
200 students walked out of class at an Alabama high school after they were reportedly told their student-led Black History Month program could not reference slavery or the civil rights movement "because one of our administrators felt uncomfortable"

@RepMTG No. Guess what? There’s something called “security clearances.” It means that many National “security” issue need to stay secret. But who would expect you to understand - to who have zero respect for our military.
Thankful to President Biden and the U.S. Military for putting the safety of the American people first.
And then taking down the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance balloon that unacceptably violated our air space.
@RepBoebert Your lack of education is showing - study history so you can better understand why our national security interests stand with supporting Ukraine. He said it best last night if you were REALLY listening - it’s not charity, it’s international security.
