Why We Shake Hands


 The Lakers have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs.  As losers, they still get the headline.  Today, the Timberwolves are an asterisk in the story of:  “Is this the end for LeBron?”


I like the sports where the players line up and shake hands at the end of the game.  Even as we cheer or cry, we acknowledge that every victory requires that both sides take the field. We shake hands to acknowledge the beauty of engagement.  


Victory today…tomorrow yet to come.

  1. A beautiful view of decency and respect. Something in short supply off the field these days.

  2. That’s why I like the NCAA tournament. Every game has both teams shaking hands. Camille
