Home Is Where The Heart Is, But For Sixers’ Center, It’s Torn With Grief Watching Haiti
-
Since we’re touching on sadness in Philly…RIP Teddy Pendergrass. The love we lost. 1950-2010.
For the the past few days, I’ve been almost speechless, like many, watching the horror and tragedy in Haiti. I wasn’t sure how (or if) I should address it here since this is a sports site and we try to keep the coverage on the games and the people who play them. But for some people, the devastation hits closer to home. There are many athletes in the U.S. who have roots in Haiti. Samuel Dalembert of the 76ers is one of them. As much as he loves his native country, which is one of the poorest in the world, Dalembert counts his blessings he was able to get out as a youth and become financially secure playing in the NBA. But that doesn’t help the loss and despair he feels watching the tragedy unfold.
