Wide World of Sports Theme Song

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports:
The thrill of victory
And the agony of defeat
The human drama of athletic competition
This is ABC's Wide World of Sports.

In anticipation of the upcoming Olympics I want to honor some of my favorite sports clips.

Sports are a group activity, not just for the players and their owners.

The group is stronger than any competitor. Watch Canadian hockey fans sing their national anthem before an Edmonton Oilers game.

Even when the power went out at a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game with the Nashville Predators, the Canadian fans took over in singing the national anthem of the USA.

But this was before the current picking of a fight with Canada,.  Here are Canadian hockey fans booing the US national anthem.

Do you know how bad you have to be to get a Canadian sports fan mad at you?

Theme songs by fans are a tradition in sports. Here is a version of  Take Me Out To the Ballgame which is sung by the crowd in the seventh inning stretch at baseball games,

or Sweet Caroline during the eighth inning stretch at Red Sox Games,

or the singing of You’ll Never Walk Alone before Liverpool futbol matches.

The summer Olympics traditionally finish with the Marathon bemuse every runner who competes is a winner. Life is a Marathon, NOT a sprint.

Remember “When the game has been decided, and you’re just burning out the clock” hold tight to your anger and don’t give into your fears. Play on and you'll never walk alone.
