This past year has witnessed a remarkable run by Blackpool, a team from the central western coast of England playing in the Premiership for the first time in 40 years. While all the players reflect the pride of the team no one exemplifies the spirit of the team, the city and its fans than the Scotsman Charlie Adam. The captain of the team has come to symbolize Blackpool and embodies (at least in spirit) the aspirations of the fans. They have no chance of winning the Premiership, which as claimed by Manchester United earlier today, but they are fighting a more important battle: remaining in the Premiership and staving off relegation to the Championship League. Adam and his cohorts know how important remaining in the Premiership is to the Blackpool fans and over the last few weeks have fought hard to win this significant victory. It is a victory the likes of Manchester United will never know. Not all victories are represented by trophies. In the case of Blackpool, simply staying in the Premiership is a significant victory. Across the pond, as they say, the likes of LeBron James, still rankle many people. The people of Cleveland are still smarting from the lack of loyalty show by LeBron to the community and its fans when he jettisoned to the Miami Heat.
It is good know that some athletes out there still feel immense pride in representing communities. Take a look at Charlie Adam's celebration when he scored a goal. He knew where the Blackpool fans were and went over to them to express his pride in the club and its fans. God bless, Charlie Adam!
