Playing together as a team, was something the sports casters kept saying all night long. "Look at how unselfish these guys are." That to me was a pretty profound statement. Being unselfish is something our society lately knows little about. I find that the, "it's all about me attitude," is very prevalent here in our country. Everybody wants a piece of the action and to be the top dog. It doesn't seem to matter anymore what you ladder you climb or how you get there, as long as you are there.
Society seems to have taken the fun and joy out of, "we're all in this together." I watch our politics, our children, our school's sports teams, television, people in WalMart. It doesn't seem to matter where you go, it's there. The guy who wants the victory, all the glory, the first in line, the biggest and the best. What happened to the communities that work together to get things accomplished? To the sports teams that rely heavily on each other for the win, not just the big guy on the court? To the leaders of our country that made every person important, not just the individuals that they choose to be important?
I'm not usually a negative person and I'm really not trying to be now, I just would like to see our country do what those boys did on the court last night. It wasn't just one person who made the win, it took the whole team. They each played with heart and desire, and they come from this beautiful state we call Kansas. Many places don't think we amount to much down here, but I find this small town life knows more about "togetherness" than any other. Thank you boys, for making us proud and for being a team. You showed character in diversity and what happened was working together you came out on top! Congrats Cats!
