Understanding honor
To those we esteem, we confer honor. We honor the founding fathers who created our country. We honor those who have sacrificed for it, and we honor those who have advanced medical science so that we live longer and have healthier lives. Now another honor has been bestowed. After a recent loss, the coach of the Chicago Bears proclaimed, and I quote, “The first thing we have to honor is the football. We have to honor the ball. That is the most important thing in winning.”
Really?
Choose your words more carefully, Coach. They have meaning.
