Why Sports Matter
For my documentary, I wanted to illustrate how sports can be a microcosm for real life in that there will always be ups and downs, good and bad, happiness and strife. There are so many life lessons in the wonderful world of sports, you just have to know where to look. Some things that have happened in sports could not have possibly been written by an author. What most comes to mind is the 2016 NBA finals and the 2016 Cubs breaking their 108-year World Series drought. Sports, if they do anything, teach patience. You always want your team(s) to win but it is just not that easy. Many teams over various sports are still waiting for their first-ever championship. Many teams are still in very long droughts. They will end at some point, though, even if it takes 108 years.
