Graphic displays a quote from Mirin Fader: "If you want to understand the full human experience—the grit, the joy, the sadness, the frustration and excitement within all of us—there is no better place to look than sports writing. In a world that sometimes tells us that this writing isn’t as important as other writing, we know better. Sports is a microcosm of society, a kaleidoscope of who we are. I’m grateful to be able to share the incredible work of my peers, so the world can understand itself better."
