"SpOrTs Quote"

 “A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever.”– Mary Lou Retton

Anything like that

For sports fans, sports are the epitome of hard work work and dedication. To get to the pinnacle of their sport, even the most naturally gifted athletes have to give it their all.
Yes, we watch sports for the excitement, but even more so, we watch it for the drama. There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a team come back to win that 4th series game after being down 0-3, a comeback after fans have already started to leave the arena, or a fighter getting off the canvas to score a come from behind knock-out. Sports are about those incredible moments where sheer human will and desire overcomes the odds. These are the moments we remember.
