The Courage Game

[MsGuy]

ESPN has been promoting a piece about out lacrosse players, to first air today (Sunday, 8/30) sometime. I'm not clear whether it will be a feature segment on Sports Center or, maybe, one of their in depth stories (in a series called "30 for 30.") Or maybe it's a stand alone article & I'm just too ignorant to figure it out from the promos. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/logik.png

 

 

 

The feature is titled "The Courage Game" and seems to be something well worth watching. I'm almost certain it covers, inter alia, Andrew Goldstein and Braeden Lange whose lives intersected in a most remarkable and heart warming way, as set out in this article.

I liked it both places. ...Outstanding article BTW.

Inspiring stories, both of them. Someday, they will just be your neighbors, your friends or your cousins, but for right now, they are the beginning and the middle of the fight to be just like everyone else. The fight to be, and to be thought of as, normal.

Lacrosse Magazine's take on this story.

 

By the way, ESPN is running its piece with that "warniing... may not be suitable for younger viewers" preface.

 

Really?

 

ESPN needs to grow a pair.

 

Andrew Goldstein's account of his relationship with Braeden.

He is going to be a heart breaker. Good looking kid with a good head on his shoulders and more courage than most.

One of the lesser ESPN channels is showing it right now, with an little update at the end.

 

Great story.
