If I read
the news it would often be the sports section. In further detail the rugby. A
story that really caught my eye was the arrest of England scrum half Danny
Care, Due to disorderly conduct towards the police because of a very high consumption
of alcohol. He quoted “We had just played a tough game and I was out with some
of the team and friends but should have remembered that, as a professional
player, I am on duty throughout the season and need to set a better example to
the fans." There have been many consequences of the young player’s
foolishness including an undisclosed fine paid to his club (Harlequins) which
was donated to the Teenage cancer trust. Danny Care’s slip up has cost him a
place in the EPS (elite players’ squad) ahead of the 6 nations. He will be
kicking himself as he missed a chance in the earlier world cup as he suffered a
toe injury.
This story
makes me think about the kind of role models that sportsmen are. There is always
a negative to a person who possesses such a talent. It also made me think about
would Jesus Be a sportsman. If yes what sport would he play? I’m sure that if
he did it would not be a contact sport as he I’m sure would never set out to
hurt anyone as he said in his teachings “Love
thy neighbour”.
Gus says; I like this post because of the relationship with the story and the ten commandments. I also think that it says that Jesus is a gentle person,
