Last week, Star sports staffers answered burning sports questions — from the best place to see a game to the one sporting event they can’t live without.
Star readers chimed in too, emailing their answers to sports@tucson.com. Here are excerpts of their responses. (Some have been edited for brevity, clarity and to match Star style).
Today’s question: Who is your sports hero, and why?
Muhammad Ali. He was not only the best boxer of our time, but a spokesperson, symbol of defiance and the truth, and an amazing athlete. He paved the way for so many in so many ways, culminating with him lighting the Olympic torch in Atlanta, 1996.
