You know, I spend a lot of time talking about how stupid sports are, but once in a while I'm reminded that kids exist. Maybe all the money we give these jocks and greedy owners to put on this meaningless display is all worth it, simply for the joy it can bring children.
I assume you mean the cab driver? 😉
Wow. This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long time.

Yep, and his partner (Tyler Downs) was also a Purdue diver - sort of. I think he only dove for one season.I saw a PU guy is headed to the Olympics in synchronized diving btw

There is a really heartbreaking backstory as well. Purdue's longtime diving coach, Adam Soldati, was diagnosed with ALS a few months ago. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Just a special guy. He's in his late 40's and has 6 kids ages 10-18. He is arguably the most decorated Purdue coach in any sport, having been national coach of the year 5 times, Big Ten coach of the year 11 times (in 19 years), 14 NCAA champions. Olympic gold medalist David Boudia is taking over coaching duties at Purdue, but expect to see a lot of Adam during the Olympics. He is that special.
Man, I'm getting choked up typing this. A special, special guy. Boudia has big shoes to fill, but he too is a great guy.
If only that old f*cker knew, that really was a viable career choice, and he ruined for him.
I don't get it.
