Isiah Thomas, former basketball star with the "bad boys" Detroit Pistons, is going to head a cannabis (formerly called marijuana) operation in Illinois. I say "boo". He was the ultimate bad boy when he stormed off the court when the Bulls finally, finally beat the Pistons on their way to a championship. And, "double boo" because these lucrative jobs were supposed to go to people whose lives were wrecked during the drug wars.
Isiah's lack of sportsmanship reminded me of a blog I wrote a few years ago. Here's the point I made writing "Why We Shake Hands."
We shake hands to acknowledge the beauty of engagement. The winning is sweet because this time it's your turn. Next time maybe not.
