For more love and less fighting
This photo raises an interesting contrast in a culture where sporting aggression and physical dominance are often encouraged. It presents two hockey players in an unusual and unexpected moment of intimacy that would be more expected in a romantic movie than on the hockey field. It seems that this unexpected moment causes us to rethink our previous notions of what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” in the sporting arena. Can’t sport facilitate more human moments like this and provide a deeper, more emotional experience for both athletes and audiences?
