Great example of sportsmanship

In the world of sports today, it's really hard sometimes to find any sort of chivalry or sportsmanship. Most of what we see are technical fouls for fighting in basketball, 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in football and what have you. We don't see much kindness or respect in sports anymore like we used to In this video, we have two softball teams playing for a conference title. One player, a senior playing in perhaps her final game, hits a three run home run. On her way around the bases, she forgets to touch first base. The run won't count unless she touches all of the bases. As she turns around to do so, she tears the ACL in her knee. What happens next is very touching. 

I can't help but be reminded of the Savior's teachings that "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me." Let's always remember this as we associate with our fellow men.
