There has never been a time where I have regretted being a part of the sports world, whether it was as a journalist or just as a fan. There are too many beautiful things about sports between the walk-off homers, the Game 7s, the comebacks and all the personal stories for any athlete willing to put in the work to get where they are.

However, the sports world is certainly not perfect and it never has been. And it’s not just the losses or the four-bounce buzzer beaters (I’m still bitter) but it is about something much more important.
