Foul Play: As the Ball Bounces


(Photo by Reisio)

Sometimes foul play can ruin a life.  Even in basketball.

If an injury is tough enough, it can interfere with cherished hopes and dreams.  But often, someone just limps off the court (or is carried by those lucky ones who can still get around), and the game goes on.

A pick-up player in Washington D.C. recently make a different decision. After experiencing the brunt of a hard foul, he called 911. When the deputies arrived, matters had already been somewhat settled.  Players were given “one more chance to keep the game civil,” and life went on.
