Why was the story about the Wake Forest Baseball coach donating a kidney to his player so important?

For my ss class i have to do this thing with the article about the wake forest baseball coach donating his kidney to his player and a question on it was "Why did the author write this? Why did the events being reported take place? What message is the author trying to communicate?"


PLEASE HELP!|||White guy helps black guy live. The story tries to damp down the extreme racism practiced by blacks against whites these days.|||The story is about an extremely unusual event -- a sports coach caring so much about his players as individuals that he will give one of his own kidneys to a youth who needs one. How often do you suppose that happens? Probably even less often than "man bites dog," the "classic" definition of a news story.
