Sports fans, unite! The majority of us out there LOVE sports, and live and die by the performance of our favorite teams. Give us a comfortable chair, a couple of buddies, our favorite team and a six-pack of beer, and we are clearly in heaven.
Some wives get it and join in, while others do not. But for those of us that truly LOVE and embrace the world of sports, there are so many reasons why.
So. Many. Reasons.
Too many to list or remember on the fly. Let’s try to build a list.
In particular, KP chimes in with his ongoing list of reasons to LOVE sports, some general and some specific. I ENCOURAGE the MEN and WOMEN that LOVE SPORTS to chime in with reasons and stories of their own.
If I add your comment to the site, it will be given with a credit.
