Why I care about the Draft

I care about the draft for two very simple reasons:

A) It is a brilliant social instrument in which individuals are able to achieve their dreams. As a stereotype, many of the players who will be drafted come from high risk backgrounds. Their opportunities in life were limited to the ones that they made for themselves and the alternative often bleak. The draft is a symbol of triumph over long odds, a celebration of hard work and opportunity for those individuals to do better for themselves and their families. Hard work is rewarded and dreams are fulfilled.

B) I like sports. The Draft is how the next generation of stars begins and how the game is constantly renewed. Without the constant influx of fresh talent, sports would suck.
