Some of my friends make fun of me for all of the sports pictures on my wall. I am not the only sports fan in my circle of friends, but I am the only one who uses sports photos as a primary motif in my decorative scheme. We all wear lots of sports apparel, and we all have different favorite teams. I have a Cubs baseball cap, while my best friend Bill is a big fan of the 76ers. I am the only one, however, who has a sports photo on practically every wall, and I constantly find myself having to explain why.

Although I am relatively successful in life right now, I have not always been. Only a few years ago, in fact, I was kind of a bum. I was working for little more than minimum wage in a dead-end job despite an extensive college education. To rally myself and work towards the position that I now occupy took everything that I had. Although I wasn't initially inspired by sports pictures, they do capture the spirit of inspiration that brought me back from a life of mediocrity. I fell in love with the feeling of straining every nerve, desperately striving to achieve all of my goals. That is what the sports pictures mean to me.

I suppose that looking at pictures sports is somewhat like watching war movies in some ways. There is the desperate and all important struggle against the enemy, and the everyday heroism. Unlike war, however, sports rarely kills. Ideally, sports is done as a contest of goodwill between two outstanding competitors. This is why I like sports pictures more than war photographs. Sports represents the best in human nature, while war represents the worst.
