Last week, the sports world and all of us in kind lost a great person and sportscaster. I never was able to watch Stuart Scott on a regular basis but the little bit that I saw from him was very inspiring. Scott made watching the sports news a thing for ESPN, I bet that whenever Scott was on air more people tuned in to hear him give the rundown and highlights of sporting events across North America in a way no one could or to see him interview the best of the best in the sports world.
For young Black kids seeing someone in such a position when it is not the norm in the media business was also inspiring. You can only imagine how many young people decided they want to be the next Stuart Scott because they watched him were influenced by the repeated "Booo yah" moments Scott provided us with.
Unfortunately, Scott's life was taken to soon from us but not before he influenced and inspired an untold many.
Here is to you Stuart!
