"Sports, after all, are where America happens. And as much as it stands as one man’s emancipation proclamation, Jason Collins’s statement in these pages demonstrates, like little else, that we are hardly the same nation we were 10, five, even two years ago. That his decision will spark only more change, at an even higher speed, seems a dead-solid certainty."

"There’s a reason a gay bar of 300 guys needs two security guards…and a straight bar of 300 needs 10 guards."
— Cyd Zeigler jr., Outsports.com blogger, in a posting about Oklahoma City shootings in the wake of the Thunder beating the Lakers. This quote is all too true. Here in San Francisco on a Friday or Saturday night, walk around North Beach and then walk through the Castro. In North Beach, cop cars patrol like crazy. In the Castro, there is probably one lonely unit roaming the streets and you know the fuzz inside is itching to get a laugh out of watching some Jerry Springer-style hair pulling.

On February 13, 1993, 17-year-old Bethel High School basketball star Allen Iverson entered a Hampton, Virginia bowling alley with several classmates. It was supposed to be an ordinary evening, but it became a night that defined Iverson’s young life: a quarrel soon erupted into a brawl pitting Iverson’s young, black friends against a group of older white men. The fallout from the fight and the handling of the subsequent trial landed the nation’s best high school athlete in jail and sharply divided the city along racial lines. Director Steve James returns to his hometown of Hampton, where he once played basketball, to take a personal look at this still disputed incident and examine its impact on Iverson and the shared community. Sport1 is currently airing No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson. If you haven’t seen this film yet I highly recommend it. Directed by Oscar nominee Steve James. Steve James is the director, producer, and co-editor of ‘Hoop Dreams’ (1/6). A Kartemquin Films and ESPN Films production for ESPN 30 for 30. Don’t miss it!
I didn’t know this about Allen Iverson. I was only in high school at the time of his ascension to the pros, and at that point, as kids, all anyone said about the man was the myth. To catch up, I just utilized good ol’ Wikipedia:
The prison sentence forced him to complete his senior year of high school at Richard Milburn High School, a school for at-risk students, instead of competing in sports at Bethel. However, the three years Iverson spent there were enough to convince famed Georgetown University Coach John Thompson to come out and meet Iverson, and offer him a full scholarship to join the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team.
That documentary looks really good.
