Hero Goat Slides Across Ice, Is Sports

This goat jumped over a frozen river (ish) and proved that sports don't have to be pretty, they just have to get the job done.

In life, adversity strikes any number of ways, forcing us to either meet challenges head on, or tuck our tails between our legs and retreat. But even when we choose valor over cowardice, it does not always mean we will be successful. History is littered with the stories of brave men and women cut down because, though brave, they lacked the strength, resourcefulness, or just outright luck to come out unscathed. But the Greatest Of All Time possess all those traits in a perfect cocktail that rewards bravery with glory.

This is a goat gamely sliding his way across a frozen body of water. Before continuing on his personal journey of spiritual awareness and growth, the universe required of him proof. Proof of his courage, and smarts, and above all else, worthiness. This goat strapped on his Walkman with Jahlil Beats's beat from "Holla At Me" by Chris Brown and Tyga, hiked up his pants, and said come at me, universe. It doesn't have to be pretty, or even practical, it just has to work. And this goat made it work better than any goat has ever made anything work in the history of goats and labor. That, my friends, is sports.
