"Everyday Sportsman of the Year"

In an article entitled "Everyday Sportsman of the Year," Sports Illustrated selects several athletes from completely different backgrounds to highlight their actions both on and off the playing field. One particular story within the article focuses on National Football League defensive end Israel Idonije. Idonije, a player for the Detroit Lions, is the son of two Christian missionaries from Nigeria. Early in his life, this defensive end was introduced to poverty through his parents' work.  Today, Idonije contributes a part of his yearly salary to a charity foundation that assists in the development of underprivileged children in the United States and Africa. In one of the articles, an analogy is drawn through comparing a veteran hockey player to Crash Davis, a catcher in the hit baseball film Bull Durham. Ethos is shown through the statistics provided for each of the athletes, while pathos is shown through describing the hardships suffered by children in Nigeria.
