Islamic Olympians
As we can see, the growing number of Muslims not hiding their Islamic while engaging in sporting events has radically and fundamentally changed Olympic competitions. ๐

There always seems to be a plethora of questions about how one can win. Indeed, there are whole industries profiteering off of it. The answer is so simple though…
This Is How You Win
That’s the answer. Just as Heather Dorniden did, you get up after you’ve fallen – or have been tripped – and you run faster, try harder. This is how you win, whether it is in sports or life.
What you don’t do is: expect the race to halted and restarted; for any of your competitors to help you up; or to just lay there and blame various and sundry other people, groups, organizations, or whole cultures for your having fallen down in some fashion – even in those rare occurrences when they are to blame for it.
Sadly, this is lesson rarely taught anymore. Instead being a victim is what is taught along with blamecasting whenever one doesn’t achieve success quick enough or at all. Perhaps this is because “winning” requires there to also being losers and that’s “not fair.” Perhaps it’s simply that “validation” of one’s self-image has become more important than being of worth in the first place.
In any event, winning is quite simple. Yet, losing because you’re a victim is so much easier to both do and teach.

I freely admit it; I’ve never been a particular fan of baseball and never in any way a fan of the Chicago Cubs. That being said, I’m open to the idea of rethinking that. I figure that, if Nabilla Benattia likes them this much, both baseball and the Cubbies must have something going for them. ๐

So, in America it this is the first day of the 2014 NFL regular season of football. Are you ready for game day? If you’re not, perhaps a glimpse at Jamie Eason will inspire you.

When it comes to football, especially high school and college football, how the game is played is supposed to be more important than the score or seasonal standings. This doesn’t seem to be how it actually works most of the time, though. Hence, it great to see when it does and to see teams like St. Clairsville High School’s Red Devils, coaches like Brett McLean, and players like Michael Ferns.
How The Game Is Played…Or Should Be, At Least
It’s really quite a simple thing – but simple seems to be bloody damn hard more often than not – Coach McLean, Michael Ferns, and the starting Red Devils did the right thing and showed the depth and strength of character and fellowship that school athletics are supposed to teach young people.
I could go into all the details but ESPN has does a better job of that than I probably could. Just go to the link in the first paragraph if you want the sad and amazing details.
