That hockey player who got his throat slashed with an ice skate a few years back. He almost died, but for the quick-thinking trainer who put pressure on the wound and stopped him from bleeding out.
All captured on camera.

It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right....
Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it,
even the well-disposed are daily made agents of injustice.
The outrage directed at Steve Bartman or whatever his name was.
Reminds me: Wasn't there a country just a few years ago where the citizens killed one (or more?) of their soccer players when the team returned home from losing in an international competition?

Columbia.. my wife's from there.. I tread lightly sometimes.
There was once this story about a Heisman winning QB that took over an NFL team with only one win. He then went on an amazing streak that included a playoff run and OT playoff victory over the leagues best defense. That same QB was replaced by a washed up horse faced former QB and team president with yet another washed up QB with a bum neck who threw a pick that eliminated them from the playoffs.
Pretty Bizarre.

Sorry Tilly, but this one can't be considered. You have to pick a real story, not some fictional masterpiece you have come up with.
Renee Richards: ESPN Films Probes Story of Sex-Switching Tennis Player

It's a story of perseverance, of a shy, yet determined tennis player who refused to say no to a cynical and skeptical society.
In a world full of refusal revolving around a straight-laced way of life, Renee Richards fought the odds and provided her fans and supporters with hope and inspiration.
A transgender athlete, Richards—formerly known as Richard Raskin—was barred from playing in the 1976 U.S. Open because of a supposed women-born-women policy.
Roger Maltbie's ricochet off a galley stake onto the green that allowed him to defeat Hale Irwin in a playoff at the inaugural PGA Memorial Tournament in 1976. Can't find any good video of it, but I remember Irwin wrapping his club around a tree afterward.
