Default Re: Musings on the concept of pride

I don't necessarily care about religion.

I am not a HUGE sports fan anymore; although I follow the big four.

I do consider myself a pretty big New Jersey Devils fan because they stand for what is all good about sports. Good management, team players, sacrificing all to win, staying out of trouble outside of the rink.... When they accomplish something I feel pride in their success I guess.

I have pride in my horse stable I own. We are just a group of low level thoroughbred claimers who love the game and believe in the trainer that works for us. This led me to have pride in the whole "Barbaro" thing. This probably relates to my passion for horses, horse wagering, and being at the Preakness when he broke then though too.

just my 2 cents.
