My thesis is all about how sports is more than just a game and how it can change lives. Many people view sports as nothing more than silly competition, they see it as black and white. There is a winner, there is a loser. Sports is much deeper than that. It has the ability to make your day happy, sad, gloomy or bright. On an even bigger scale, sports has the ability to inspire hope not only in an individual, but in a whole town, community, state, even the nation. When USA beat the the heavily favored Russian hockey team in 1980 it united America and showed that hockey was more than just a game. It put tensions of the cold war on hold, and more importantly brought all Americans together. This photo is just a spin off the concept that "sports can change a life" because one man's life may be changing forever here. Though, this is not the way sports generally changes lives, it just proves that it can change people's lives in more ways than we can know.
