The Danger of Making Hasty Judgments!

Life lessons you learn from sports:

If you watched the end of the Spurs-Thunder game the other night you know that the initial reaction was national outrage.  The Spurs were robbed because a Thunder player clearly pushed the defender (Manu Ginobili) on the final play of Game 2!  Even the unbiased sportscaster (Webber) was up in arms.  "Foul! Foul!"

Unless you hate the Spurs (as I do) you likely went to bed feeling jipped.  However, the next day the NBA showed that before the infamous push Ginobili first committed a violation against the Thunder.

This sports article (here) is good reminder of the danger of knee-jerk reactions and/or the risk of making hasty judgments.  Sometimes we do not have the full story.  This is true in all arenas of life.  Sadly, we've all been there before (Prov. 29:20) both on the giving end and on the receiving end.
