I think of Bob Feller, perhaps the best pitcher in the Major Leagues and in the prime of his career, which is short for pitchers. On December 8, 1941, he immediately quit baseball and enlisted in the military, not to return until 1946.
His honor was dearer than his life. Now we have this Kaeppernick bum, whom fans are dumb enough to go and see earn $100MM. The Greatest Generation had honor and integrity.
