Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan, some kid is getting his legs blown off. He'll be coming home to a lifetime of always worrying where the money is going to come from and how the bills will be paid, and he may end up living on the streets.
And then there's Haywood, who will be back not just walking again, but running and playing in the NBA, with his piles of money and American dream to live out for the rest of his life.
When I first saw the video of Haywood breaking his leg, I felt really bad for him. However, at this point, all of his supporters have kind of gone overboard with their disgust that not everybody is as upset over this as they are. Haywood will be fine, and all the fan boys/girls acting as if somebody died need to look for a more worthy cause than building a shrine to a temporarily injured NBA version of Richie Rich.
