Watching this I realized that there is a set of athletes that are far more valuable, far more sportsman, far more news worthy than what we currently see on TV and the internet. The athletes we saw here don't need to sell their trophies, get special deals on cars, have their tutors help them through their classes, and these are not looking for an insanely high starting salaries nor their flashy cars and fame.

These athletes already have earned all those rewards by being a true sport about their game! They are the ones that we need to see and heard about!
