Peyton, the Scoreboard Operator and the Code

A few weeks ago Peyton Manning was upset by the fact that during the game the scoreboard operator showed his teammates celebrating, and also a shot of the opposing quarterback on the sideline, who was then booed by the fans. Peyton was outspoken after the game in saying that he thought that doing that was disrespectful of the player, and that the scenes of players dancing was inappropriate during the game, similar to taunting.  The Code reminds us to be respectful, and to display honorable behavior. Peyton could have said nothing; instead, he took the opportunity to express his displeasure. When are some times when things have happened that you did not approve of? Did you speak up? Can Peyton serve as an example of courage for you?
