Sport is everywhere right now: the Winter Olympics, the current World Cup, the upcoming Tour de France, and so many more. Some people might say sport is the glue that brings a community together; others use sport as a means to forget about the stress of their everyday life, and for others, sport is a tool to feel great about themselves and foster friendships. Whatever sport means to you, we will explore a little bit more about the culture surrounding Sport in the English-speaking parts of the world.
