What is currently occupying my mind is the recent injury of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. While watching the game yesterday, something which I was very excited all off-season for, I witnessed the worst thing a New England fan could have witnessed. The Injury did not look as serious as it turned out to be. During practice last night I was told by one of my fellow players that Brady would be out for the remainder of the season. This is very disheartning news because the Patriots organization has always famously said we do not need anybody, except Tom Brady. It’s almost hard to admit how much concern I have about New England sports teams, but I am from Massachusetts where it is known as a religion and I can use that for my excuse.
I suppose I should be focusing on more important things aside from an NFL quarterback, but it is my lifestyle. I have always been a diehard sports fan every since I was born and raised in Massachusetts. Many people are aware of the intensity of sports fans from Massachusetts and the surrounding New England region. Many will scoff at living through professional sports, but I would argue the opposite. Professional sports has many benefits to a community and the culture of that community. It can bring a community together, uniting against a common enemy.
