Sports are important, until they’re not. Lose by five goals, strike out four times, score three touchdowns, or however you perform … the sun will still come up tomorrow. Win, lose, or draw you still have air in your lungs and something to live for. Sports are important, but they’re not everything.
The humanity of sports was tragically brought to light after a helicopter crash took the lives of Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, Ara Zobayan, Christina Mauser, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, and Peyton Chester.
Bryant’s helicopter crashed Sunday morning in Southern California.
