Actually every now and then you hear about a football team or basketball team letting a disabled kid score. Then there was the college softball game in WA a few years back where the girl hit the homerun and blew her knee and the opposing team carried her around the basepaths.

The difference there is that she already hit the home run. That would be like carrying a runner who crossed the finish line, up to the awards stand. I'm all for that kind of sportsmanship, but if you collapse before the finish line because you went out too hard and died, I'm going to run right by you.
I agree, the whole thing is played out.
Yeah, but the batter still has to touch all the bases in order for the run to count, so, no, it is not the same thing really.Why are news segments about good sportsmanship such a hard issue for people?Sports are more than about winning, especially at the HS level and below.
