Well Physical Therapy Bloggers, I am on the road again! This time to Columbia, MO where I am attending the MSHSAA Show-Me Showdown Basketball Championships. The Bolivar Lady Liberators have made it to the championship game and I will post a blog after I witness the results on Saturday.
I saw something on the Internet today, of which I have talked to you about before: A Culture of Cheating! Here is a read that you need to do, and reflect upon. The once great Marion Jones turned herself in today to start her prison sentence. She is not doing time for the illegal steroids that she took, but rather the fact that she lied under oath about it. Jones is part of the culture of cheating. Part of the society that says it is OK to lie. Part of the society that says it is OK to cheat. Part of the society that says it is OK to misrepresent yourself. I must admit I marveled at Jones as she won her many medals and accolades on the track. I was proud to say I was an American and proud that she represented our country. Now, what do we have? Some medals that have been reclaimed by the Olympic Committee. Official records that have been banished from the books. A once proud athlete spending time behind bars. A small child who will be separated from her mother for six months. In the end is it all worth it?
