If there are any general themes throughout my work as a sports blogger here, perhaps one of the most would be the promotion of the reality that sports doesn’t occur in a vacuum. As much as we may utilize sports as an escape from the everyday life that we live, the simple fact is that it’s just another part of that life.
And everybody who plays has their own life to live, with the same sorts of things we wish we would never have to deal with, like the loss of loved ones. Ramon Foster was the first player who went through this, as I recall, in 2014, after his mother, Wyvonia Morgan, passed away on July 22, 2014, on the eve of training camp.
