The Moral Greatness of Sports Heroism

Andy Bernstein will speak at Marist College on Thursday Nov. 16, 2006 about "The Moral Greatness of Sports Heroism."  This talk was inspired by a front page interview he did for USA Today in September 2006 on the soul of a champion. This talk starts with an attempt to define heroism and to demonstrate the moral stature of a true hero. On such a foundation, it then proceeds to rationally validate and explain what many sports fans only viscerally sense: a superlative athlete is a towering hero.
