Softball Sunday

 My  first ever SO event 2005

            Today  was softball for me.  Our  team did well  we got third  place  meaning we  won   one and lost one.

   On the way back to my area  I heard about the violence  at the     49ers  game.  For those outside California     there   had been an  similar attack on the fans at a  Giants   Dodgers  game  earlier this year.      These  two attacks  make  me reflect on something.   The  world should be more like  a special Olympics competition.    take today  for example.   During the  game we are all   want   to win.     Athletes  are   happy  when    their  team  wins and  get sad when their  teams  lose.   The major difference  is  what happened  off the  field.     People  have  friends  on the  opposing  team ( yes  some  of this  results  from  athletes  move  to  cities)  but  this isn't  always  the  case   during  lunch  time   a  athlete    came  around  to  ask  us  if we  wanted lickerish.  This  athlete    was  not  our  team  mate   but it  did not matter    the  person   had lickerish  and  offered  to share it.  Couldn't the  world be  more like  that     Have    a healthy  competition where everyone  tries  his or her  best  but   at  the end of the day  watch out    for each other  because   it is  just a game.   Please  remember this    the  next time you are  watching  professional sports
