Why Sports Are Great (1 Viewer)

I think it's that crazy British grammar that soccer fans use like when they say something like "San Francisco are the best team in the league."

There very well could be. That's why I put a question mark behind it. I'm not entirely sure either. 

 
I see nothing wrong with the "is," actually. It probably should be the British usage of the singular "Why sport is great" but whatever. I'm so used to wrong plurals being used w/r/t sports that I don't even blink an eye anymore.

Lol I pride myself on my grammar as well, but I wasn't saying multiple sports (baseball, football, lacrosse, rugby, hey let's name all the sports), I was saying that singular thing that is sports. Sports is "a thing" not just many things. But I'm not quibbling, changed. And actually now that I've changed i can see I've already changed the meaning, but nm.

I get you.  "Sports" as a singular category among others was your intention.  But I still hate you for the clip in the OP.

ETA...what the hell happened?  My quote and text seemed to have split into two separate posts when I submitted.

The wave function collapse was faulty. 

Luckily, in my multiverse, I understand your narrative. 

I still can't find out where I parked my truck tho. 

 
I wasn't sure where to put this but I remembered this thread from the past. Here's the setup - so in this clip you see Coach Darrin Simmons for the Cincinnati Bengals. He's been their special teams coach since 2003. David Montgomery is actually from Cincinnati, Marvin Lewis was the Bengals HC for a number of years, he used to have a camp for locals. David had a great game against my Bengals (unfortunately - wish he played for us) but after the game, Coach Simmons shares a memory with him: Link.

Sports are bigger than winning and losing, life is bigger than winning or losing and life is really about moments like these in my humble opinion. It's easy to be gracious when you've won or when you're winning and doing well but, to me, I find it much more difficult to be kind, gracious and complimentary when I'm down. This is an amazing lesson and quite honestly this brings me more joy than a victory. Bravo coach Simmons!
