Why play football?

I PLAYED FOOTBALL in college…

I wasn’t very big–only 150 pounds–and I wasn’t very good. I got hurt a lot. I broke my arm once, my neck once, and my nose six times.

When I tell people about it, they always ask me, “Why did you keep doing it?”

For the longest time I had no answer.

Then one day it hit me. If there hadn’t been any fans in the stands cheering me on–my family and friends–I wouldn’t have kept playing and trying so hard. But there were, so I did. Tom Malone, former President and COO of Milliken and Company

“But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.” Exodus 17:12
