On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said
You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.
MIKE TIRICO’S ALL-TIME GREAT OLYMPICS SIGN-OFF:
“All the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them, our country loves sports, it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that: you saw it in Team USA Hockey”
This will go down as the most heart wrenching clip of the year.
Johnny Gaudreau gets to look down from heaven and see his kids celebrate a gold medal w/ Team USA and his parents soak it in from the stands.
That hockey brotherhood is special 🙏🏼
“I want to thank our troops for allowing us to play this game.”
This means more than most folks realize.
Perspective. Appreciation. Patriotism. That’s all our troops ask for. Means everything.
Thank you @usahockey 🇺🇸
