Knights in real life

My first example of a knight is a professional football player named Adrian Peterson.  Peterson is a running back for the Minnesota Vikings and a year ago he tore his ACL.  Recovery time is 9 months and Peterson came back in 8 and he went on to have one of the best statistical seasons ever.  He is a knight due to his strength to overcome adversity as well as his devotion and desire to overcome these obstacles and be better than ever.  He shows bravery in the form of not being scared to attack his injury and rehab headstrong.

My second example comes from the movie the Dark Knight, obviously knight is in the title so that is one connection.  This is the ending of the movie where they call him the watchful protector and the dark knight.  They say how he is not the hero the cities deserves and that they will chase him because he can take it. Even though batman isnt in the wrong his understanding of the situation and bravery to be a figure that the city can rely on and go after him shows how brave and noble he is.  In some way he throws himself under the bus like that for the greater good.
