Quitters Never Prosper? How about Crooks? Now they are the norm: We have seen some fantastic moments in sports history where players in the heat of competition, pride, and true grit fight and claw their way to victory, or at least within inches of it. We have Kirk Gibson pumping his arm as he limped around the bases, Curt Schilling's bloody sock, Kerri Strug stuck a landing after a powerful vault on a lame ankle. Then there's this year's Olympics. Simone Biles quit on her team while stating she wasn't 100%. https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-simone-biles-quit-on-her-team-and-her-country-she-should-not-be-celebrated-for-it And when she quit, she was celebrated for it. https://www.dailywire.com/news/opinion-no-we-shouldnt-cheer-young-women-quitting-on-their-dreams-even-for-mental-health The Mexico softball team went so far as to throw their uniforms away (with the country's flag on them) before proceeding to steal bedding from the Olympic Village. https://www.espn.com.au/olympics/story/_/id/31912575/olympics-2021-mexico-softball-team-tosses-uniforms-olympic-village-trash
