The Audacity of Sport
Some claim that sport is just a meaningless game, a
past time of negligible importance, something we
clearly put too much time, passion and money into.
Sport is more than that. Anything that does demand so
much time, passion and money must mean something.
Sport is an outlet, a metaphor, a key to vicarious living
and an arena in which we may play out our dreams,
fears and fights. It is the testing ground for honor, valor
and loyalty. Maybe it isn't life and death but isn't it
better that way? Sport is where we learn to grow, learn
to become who we want to be, learn who we already
are. Sport means something. It doesn't mean
everything but it does mean something. And if that isn't
good enough then just remember sport is really fun to
talk about.
