All-Stars
Tonight, Major League Baseball is honoring Glenn Burke at the All-Star Game in Minneapolis. Burke was the first Major Leaguer to be out to his teammates and the first to acknowledge it after his retirement. Burke died of AIDS complications in 1995. Of course, we didn't see this tribute on television and heard nothing about it on the broadcast so there's that qualifier.---
And it's been at least a decade since they telecast the playing of the Canadian national anthem.

LeBron James re-signs with Cleveland and Scott Raab, the Esquire writer that wrote the book about James bearing the title "The Whore of Akron" says he forgives the superstar forward-- "Acceptance, forgiveness, and love." Says online commenter "pampl," "It takes a big man to forgive someone you don't know after they've moved somewhere else. Scott Raab is kind of a hero."

I defy you not to get weepy on this video. Maybe there's a chance for us.
