WALKON
Walk On
"Walk On" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the fourth track on their 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind, and was released as a single in February 2001, the record's second in Canada and the fourth in the rest of the world. The song was written about Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese academic who was chairperson of the National League for Democracy and was placed under house arrest from 1989 until 2010 for her pro-democracy activities. The song won the "Grammy Award for Record of the Year" in 2002, marking the first time an artist had won the award for songs from the same album in consecutive years.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Walk On (U2 song)

Walk-on
The term walk-on is used in sports, particularly American college athletics, to describe an athlete who becomes part of a team without being actively recruited beforehand or awarded an athletic scholarship. This results in the differentiation between "walk-on" players and "scholarship" players.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Walk-on (sports)
