GAME 7 | HEAT 101, CELTICS 88

Anti-Bullying Stand of the Day: In a courageous move for the newspaper industry, Iowa’s Sioux City Journaldevoted the entirety of its Sunday front page to an editorial about a local gay teen who recently committed suicide.

Until now, it has been too difficult, inconvenient — maybe even painful — to address. But we can’t keep looking away.”
Beautifully played.
