Do you find this kinda inspirational or sad?

one of my brothers friends played for boone county high in kentucky. so did his brother but his brothers past caught up to him and he got killed in a drive by. He always told his little brother that "when he gets on the field it doesnt matter what the other team is doing, if youre hurt ,sad, mad, bleeding, or hurting. because on the other side of that ball there are 11 people who dont care how you feel or what your family is going through. they want to hurt you, they dont care if you come off that field missind a god damn arm. so when you get on that field you have to show them what pain is, what bleeding feels like. he said i want you to get that ball and go hit somebody". That is what i feel every game before i go on the field also. that little boy turned out to be Shaun Alexander. 19 overall pick in the 2000 draft
