In typical Brendan fashion, he was more concerned about me. "You promise this isn’t going to be a problem for you? I don’t want this to mess up your career." To be honest, I was nervous for myself. Not because I thought that Brendan’s story would cause me any problems in my career, but because I did not know how I would handle any backlash. Scouting is a tight-knit community, and I am very close with the guys I work with. I would have been both furious and crushed if another scout had something negative to say about my brother. I assured Brendan I would be just fine.

A fantastic article by Patrick Burke on Outsports about his brother Brendan and the Burkes' dedication to advancing his legacy.

We had talked previously about the anonymous cowards who make up a large portion of the internet: "No reading the comments sections" would be our rule.

Not here, friends.

Furthermore

The strength, grace and poise shown at all times by the Burke family never ceases to amaze me.

This is a fantastic article and you can practically feel the love behind it in the words and practically feel it jump through the screen.
