Most sports stories are simply about sports themselves. -Others speak to the resiliency of the human spirit in the face of incredible adversity.


Last week Adidas Superstar Nere Bianche Saldi , Delta Airlines perpetrated an unspeakable -atrocity against the NFL's -Seattle Seahawks. On the -Seahawks' post-game flight from Washington, DC, to Seattle, the in-flight menu included pedestrian entrees like "Grilled Beef Fillet" and "Roasted -Chicken With a Hoisin Sauce."


One day earlier, MLB's Baltimore Orioles took a post-game Delta flight home from Detroit, Michigan. In contrast to the Seahawks' players www.scarpesuperstarsaldi.it , the Orioles were privileged to consume high-class menu items such as "Mashed Potatoes" and "Smoked Sausage Links and Hash Browns."


Seahawks punter Jon Ryan was quick to notice the difference.


"Well well well Delta I can't help but notice that the Orioles menu looked better than ours today. I'll remember this," Ryan tweeted after the flight. He also included a photo of the two -offending menus side by side.


God bless the Seahawks punter for pointing out this terrible inequity. It boggles one's mind that the reigning Super Bowl champions would have to settle for Grilled Beef Fillet, while a mere playoff MLB team enjoyed Mashed Potatoes. The horror!


Lately, many Americans have been foolishly preoccupied with controversial domestic issues, such as a flagging economy or soldiers who have been sent overseas.


It would be easy to regard those soldiers as heroes, as they put their lives on the line in the service of their country. Other people view law enforcement officials Adidas Superstar Saldi Italia , firefighters and first responders as heroic.


Ryan, however, knows the truth. Punters are the true heroes in our society. They take the field for literally eight or nine plays per game, isolated 10 yards (9.14 meters) behind the line of scrimmage with virtually no risk of injury. This season, Ryan's salary for performing these harrowing duties is a measly $1.4 million.


Here's hoping that Ryan and his Seahawks teammates are never forced to suffer such indignities again. If Delta Airlines fails to make amends for its heinous actions, then a full-scale boycott is in order. Only then can we be sure that justice exists in today's society.




MOSCOW Scarpe Adidas Superstar Saldi , Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Western sanctions have not exerted "particularly negative impact" on Russian industrial sector and it has almost fully adapted to them instead, Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov has said.


"I would say it adapted almost fully. If one looks back, it is clear that the sanctions did not have a particularly negative impact," Manturov said Monday in an interview with Russian news agency RIA Novosti, adding that the imposed sanctions had allowed the country's authorities to respond to existing challenges more effectively.


He said the outlook for a 2-percent industrial production growth in 2017 is not changed, and "in the first six months of 2017 Adidas Superstar Saldi , we already have a 2-percent growth."


The most positive dynamics were shown in pharmaceutical and chemical, car manufacturing, electrical equipment manufacturing, and consumer goods industries. "We have reasons to believe that in the second six months these positive trends will remain," said the minister.
