Real Talk Co.

Sports are one of the greatest things that’s happened to civilized society.

I’ve been apart of it for as long as I could remember.

Soccer, teeball, basketball, wrestling.

Even golf.

I probably did it because I liked P.E.

But in my young adulthood, I’m constantly reminded in different ways how sports was a great thing that happened for me.

I’m sure there’s other people that feel the same way, but might have trouble expressing it in a way that’s satisfying.

Let’s look at what makes sports unique.

They become a public figure that becomes as interesting on the internet, or a simple trip to the store as on their normal field of play.
