Organized Sports
What came first, the sports or the fans? Do you think that before there were organized sports people still dressed in matching color schemes to watch events unfold and then cheer and eat hot dogs? Perhaps it began with two people throwing and bouncing a crude ball around that drew the attention of bystanders who were the forefathers of the modern sports fan. Whether it was the turkey or the egg that came first, this Thanksgiving weekend I am going to be sure to sit on my couch for hours on end saluting all of the fans of sports that came over on the Mayflower, as well as all the fans that already called this continent “home” in their native language.

I think one of the forefather/native american sports was Lacrosse, but I wasnt around then and neither was Old Spice. So why discuss it?
