I was always the fat kid who got picked last... if at all - the one with her nose in a book at all times. I honestly admit I know nothing about sports. But I know about fair play and sportsmanship from the wider angle. And boy, this ain't it, is it? Everything in today's world is rush, rush, rush... no time to do it right, but lots of time to do it over again, I guess.
