Why I Love Sports

There are so many incredible narratives in sports, not just the glory of victory or the agony of defeat. Lots of times there are stories that have little to do with winning or losing, that instead serve to inspire us in different ways. When you get a peek at what is beyond the bright lights, the superhuman athleticism, and the mega paychecks, there are some pretty beautiful and moving stories out there. I have always appreciated ESPN's SportsCenter for that reason: their efforts to tell the unconventional sports narrative that allow us to love the games, the players and the fans in new ways. Here is a fantastic short video from ESPN a few weeks back, that aired during the LA - Denver series.
