The Man in the Stands
I wanted to entitle this blog, the lonely man in the stands but are all these men and woman who spend their time and money supporting teams around the world, really lonely?
I beg to differ on all accounts. To me, the greatest supporters of sport, love what they do unconditionally. They have an undying passion for their sport and team. As a famous author once wrote, they lead without a title. They are leaders in their on right. He/she could be a CEO of a major company or someone that just makes ends meet, who are we to know. Players may not know if he/she is in the stadium. Publicity, fame and fortune has never been on top of their endless list. Status, power and money does not dictate the life of the man in the stands.
I dedicate this blog to a man that does not seek public fame, a mention in the newspaper or glittering photographs. He is a man that silently flies, or drives around the country and watches each and every ball with the attention to detail any coach would. This is a man that bestowed me, with a gift that is worth millions.
The simple things in life allows us to enjoy this beautiful game. A game that brings so much joy to the man in the stands.
