Sports-related polls, articles and social media posts are not reality. No matter how much you might let them rule your world (like I do), sports is simply a form of entertainment.
Yet, entertainment is quite visceral and polarizing. Ask a sports fan the most emotional memory of their entire lives and within two seconds, before the birth of a child or when they said the words ‘I do’, they’ll blurt out some random sports moment.
A Phoenix basketball fan might say John Paxson. Ron Artest. Robert Horry. For U of A fans, there’s Frank Kaminsky. Sorry, but I can’t think of a visceral world-impacting basketball moment from ASU, good or bad.
