Inside the Hash Marks: A Symbol of Victory
(04/29/22 6:00am)
It seems as if everything we do in life is a means to some sort of end. Individuals go to school to prepare for the real world — or sometimes to get into another school — or they get married to start a family, but the answer for why we care about sports may be more ambiguous to some.
