As a player of multiple sports, up to 70 years ago, I learned that if you have any character and intelligence, when you lose a game you sick it up and accept the loss – and learn from it to improve your performance to get getter. Today, I am deeply disappointed and saddened that so many of our people did not learn, or choose to ignore that lesson.

I have no real understanding of why so many of our people, including guys whom I coached, choose to ignore that lesson and sup-port Donald Trump in his totally false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Trump’s actions show a total lack of character, reason, the honesty. In embracing that corrupt behavior on the part of Trump, those people are also embracing the corruption itself.

These people need to ask themselves: Is that the lesson we want to convey to our children and to the world? Do we really want to deny ourselves and our country the opportunity to improve ourselves and our nation by accepting defeat and learning from it???????
