| | rantnrave:// It's all over–not just 18 years of CHICAGO CUB suffering, but the even longer and more desperate 2016 election. While politics has worked its way into sports (KAEPERNICK...PACQUIAO...BELICHICK?) more than enough, now's a good moment to regard sports as a source of great stories and great inspiration... “Running” doesn’t have to mean Blues against Reds, it can also be the vehicle for NEW YORK to shower support on weary marathoners, and the source of inspiration from athletes facing challenges physical and social... Sports connects us with MOTHER EARTH, from above the peaks of EVEREST to surfing the forboding GREAT LAKES... Sports tears down borders, allowing a pan-EUROPEAN hockey team to compete as one, or connecting an AMERICAN tight end to his GERMAN fans... And since you can't have "Sportsmanship" without "Sports,, cheers to the DUTCH EREDIVISE powerhouse AJAX, who sent 27 cases of beer to the obscure Scottish team that eclipsed its record winning streak, and raise a glass to the four gentlemen tennis champions who congratulated rival ANDY MURRAY on reaching #1. | | | - Team REDEF |
