Dear Sports,

Introduction

We love sports. They help define who we are and who we have the ability to become. They trigger emotions we didn't even know we were capable of having.

Sports also inspire us and give us tremendous hope. Hope in the world, hope in people and hope in ourselves. They teach us invaluable lessons and they show us how to love. For all of that, we are eternally grateful.

This site is our love letter to sports. It's a place where all fans, regardless of fandom, are welcome.

If you could talk to sports, what would you say?
