World News: NFL players send powerful message to the league

Friday, June 5

We asked why you fell in love with sports. These are those stories:

From Scott Gleeson, USA TODAY Sports reporter:

I learned a lot about my dad from watching Michael Jordan win championships for the Chicago Bulls. To me, my dad had a similar mindset to Jordan and a thirst to prove anyone who doubted him wrong. Dad told me he had been an "average" hoops player in high school. But then I attended a basketball camp at my dad's old high school - and saw something that changed everything. That's when I learned about 'Free-Throw Tom.'
