Great post...I agree with all points.

The best part other than Joey Cheek's charitable giving, is his good showing is a surprise...which make a feel good story even better.

Davis has a chip....but, in a sport that is all-white, he must have heard all of his life how he "didn't belong"...which makes for a wall to be built up to keep from getting hurt.

Perhaps this win....will help him let down the barrier a little...once he is accepted as a legit player in ice skating.

Did I miss something? Did he say this, or did Bryant Gumball?

So, if this is true, am I to understand that is somehow supposed to justify Shani making a martyr and complete idiot out of himself while representing our country?...I don't buy it.
