There is a town near me that has a population of about 5,000. This town produced a WNBA player who played about 4-5 years before some of the younger, quicker players took her place, made her sit on the bench, and now she does some limited playing time for a pro woman's team in Europe. We will call this lady "Jane Doe".
Anyway, when you hit the city limits of this town, there is a sign that, after you read what town you are in, says "Home of Jane Doe".
Now I realize that the people are somewhat proud of this lady, but what about all the other kids from this town who studied hard, got good grades, and now make more money than Jane Doe?
(Average salary of a WNBA player is less than $50K a year. The big money is the shoe and the accessory contracts) There are a lot of kids who graduated from this town making more money than what Jane Doe does and yet they are not even mentioned. My little bitty home town is athletics crazy, but there hasn't been an athletic scholarship given for several years. There has been several academic scholarships given, however.
I'm all for sports and did athletics in high school. I will be the first to admit that the priorities of some parents are completely in the wrong spot.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
