Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the beauty of sports. No, it's not just the fluidity of a sprinter slicing through the air or the touch of a soccer player as she pierces the upper corner of the net to score the game-winning goal.
Competition is the driving force behind sports, but people make the events truly special.
If you need proof, take a look at the fans at the next game you attend. It doesn't matter if it's Georgia or your son's pee wee football team. Take a minute to look at who's there with you. There are bound to be mothers and fathers and maybe even a few sisters or brothers in the crowd. And if you look hard enough, you're bound to spot a grandmother or grandfather.
