Stopping 2 Yards Short of a Touchdown!

Thamail Morgan, a star high school football player, stopped two yards short of another touchdown, when already in a considerable lead, in deference to his opposing team who had recently lost a key player in an auto accident.
What do you think … should he have scored anyway, or was this the right path to take?

I assume all in attendance understood why he stopped two yards short. If it was Mr. Morgan’s’ personal decision and he was not coerced, I think it was “An Incredible Gesture of Compassion”. Without a doubt, it was the right path. I think he has had good parenting.

Character is formed by key inputs in a person’s life, with parenting one of the most key inputs!
