"Im too busy for sports." (john knowles 84) [...] Liten pal, if I can't play sports, you're going to play them for me," (85)
Gene feels that sports are cynical and they have let down Finny. Finny claimed in his “commandments” that nothing bad can ever come of sports. Finny’s entire existence revolved around sports and he was good at them. When Finny fell and broke his leg all of that was taken away from him; taken away by Gene who pushed shook him to his fall. Due to this Gene has developed a fear of sports. Finny tells Gene that he must play sports in his absence. Gene cedes to Finny’s will because of his guilt.
Question: Will gene sports? If so, will he become a great athlete that Finny once was?
