This week we had the rare opportunity to take part in a historic event. Tuesday’s Presidential Inauguration of the 44th President, Barack Obama, is one we will tell our children’s children about. Regardless of your political stance, it is important to reflect upon America’s desire for hope and change.  Americans as a whole can take pride knowing that no matter what walk of life someone comes from, they stand united in supporting the historic event.Â

It is not clear what  exact impact this changing of the guard will have on sports, but I hope and believe that we will see the same desire for unity. The sports world has come a long way  in breaking racial barriers and discrimination. However, I desire a day when we speak not of a player’s ability or character based on his nationality or race but on the individual himself.Â

Again, this week was truly a historical moment. As the festivities and hoopla wind down Americans, Canadians, and people around the world will be watching with a hopeful eye that the man behind the ever powerful words and glinting smile is truly the right person to lead the United States of America.

I wish you the best of luck in achieving the goals you have set forth. Remember, it is the peaks and valleys in life that reveal a person’s true character. With this said Mr. President, you face a tough task ahead, and the world waits in anticipation.

I will see you next week,

Thanks,Â
