for Reggie White.
It may be the wrong sport, but, if we as parents instilled Reggie Whites competitive spirit on the field and the compassion for his fellow man off the field on our kids, the next generation may have a better chance.
In the next couple of days, listen to the White testamonials, you will hear from many different sides, all with the same message. He was a man of conviction, dedication, honesty, and sincerity. At one point in his life he did make negative comments about homosexuality in a government forum which he later stated were religously based and then apologized for using that time to reflect those feelings. Unfortunatly, for the most part many of Whites characteristic traits are not part of todays athletic role models.
When White came to WI to play for the Packers he sent a message to blacks and whites that skin color was not an excuse, and that we are all brothers in the human race.
