I admire Manute Bol's efforts for charity and his country of Sudan, but this is...well, it's unorthodox!

I hope for his sake he doesn't see any ice time, lest he be folded up a la yardstick :-/

For the record...Manute Bol, as of today, has retired from professional hockey.  I guess his feet werent' built for skates :-/

I'm almost ashamed of living here. Manute is playing for our Indianapolis Ice minor league team. Can someone tell GM Ray Compton that Bol was a basketball player? :-[

He drew the largest crowd of the season and his paycheck is going to charity.  There's more to life than sport, y'know.  :P

Yeah, but sports figures regularly give to charities. Why is Manute any different that he should have carte blanc over everyone else?
