re: what kills me about the josh hamilton situation

the car was hit by a dump truck, killing both of his parents instantly.

this is really really false.

His story doesn't have to be inspirational to everyone. I'm sure it's inspirational to people who are at the depths of despair and those who find inspiration from standard feel good stories. Hell, some people get inspired watching 'Rocky'. Whatever blows your hair back.

This is what a lot of idiots in this thread are forgetting. You don't have to look at his story as being inspirational. You don't really have to care about it at all.

But acting like you can't understand how he's been to the pit of human hell, to a much better place in his life would resonate with a large portion of people is dumb. There are lots of people who struggle with addiction of all different sorts, and if they have someone to look up to then so be it.
