Organizational issues
The film I reviewed was titled “The Home Team” and can be found at the following link. http://responsibility-project.libertymutual.com/films/the-home-team
This film tugs at the heartstrings and it allows us to stop for just a moment in time and think about the things in our lives that truly matter. This story is about a small town college basketball team in Murray Kentucky that may not win every basketball game, but in the eyes of the community the team will always remain winners. This small town supports its local college basketball program win or lose and packs the gymnasium every single game to cheer on “The Home Team”.
The issues in this film are important because it teaches valuable life lessons to each generation and it helps to establish ethical guidelines for each of us to follow. In college sports today most players are only worried about his or her personal stats so they can try to take their game to the next level. Most athletes only think of themselves and try to increase his or her brand image so they can increase his or her monetary value in case they make it the professional athlete ranks. In this story we see true selflessness, we see a player named Isaiah put one of his teammates own personal feelings ahead of his own. We have a star athlete on senior night give up his starting position to allow one of his fellow teammates to take his place. The young man that started in his position was Jordan; Jordan was not an extraordinary athlete; in fact prior to this game he had never scored a bucket in a collegiate game. Jordan grew up as a lifelong Murray State racers fan and was raised only 20 minutes down the road from the campus. For Jordan, starting this game was a life long dream. He grew up in a community that supports the Murray State Racers basketball program and accepts these young men and allows them to be active members of their lives and in their community.
