To say that sports are important to the lives of Americans is an understatement. For many of us, it's more than the games we play or the games we watch or the teams we support. It's what we talk about, it's what we think about, it's what we dream about. It's an indelible fabric of our lives, a critical part of our identity. It's what bonds us to friends and breaks the ice with strangers. It's something we just can't imagine living without.
