Sports are a lot of fun. But they can also cause a lot of heartbreak. Kansas City sports fans are all too familiar with that kind of pain. The baseball team was the laughingstock of the sport for two decades, then lost a World Series with one of the biggest ninth inning teases ever. The football team took two decades to even win a post-season game, with some of the most ridiculous, heartbreaking playoff losses along the way.
How do we deal with losses in sports? Some people get depressed. Listen to any sports talk radio show in the area today and you will hear sad fans, radio hosts choking up in tears, and a general malaise permeating the Kansas City area on this gray, rainy day.
