| Well, every-time I see the story... It brings tears to my eyes! I'm not shitting, tears. Oh, I don't start blubbering, crying crocodile tears but, damn!
I think this is one of the coolest stories I've ever heard of. What a bunch of classy ladies!

With respect, when the spirit of competition precludes sportsmanship and this kind of compassion, then it's time to change the name from 'sports' to something else.
