This is not exploitation, in any sense of the word. This is the truth and it needs to be told.

We need to put a face on this tragedy, and tonight we did. The children's faces and the emotion on the faces of the players, touching.

This was broadcast to millions of viewers tonight. If it can save one life, change one mind or enact one law to prevent the violence, then we all will be better for it!

Thanks again Cha. Great OP!
