President Obama, a basketball player and fan, was hurt during a game at the White House with his close friends. The president ended up with twelve stitches.

Like any other sport, basketball has its good and bad side. But both are part of the game. For sure, this was not the president’s last game. He will certainly get back on court after healing. As the Bambara of Mali say, “He who loves the vase loves what is inside.”
