Blackfive notes that Sports Illustrated is running a fan poll for "Sportsman of the Year". Blackfive urges you vote for Pat Tillman, and I couldn't agree more.
In an year when professional sports has given us such noble examples of sportsmanship as Ron Artest and Ricky Williams, a man who was willing to sacrifice fame and fortune for a greater cause that he believed in deserves our support. Currently, Pat is in third place behind Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps. While I support the achievements of both of those men (especially Lance Armstrong) I think Pat Tillman's example shines above the rest. Take a second and vote for a great American who made the ultimate sacrifice for us all.
