Boston Marathon officials, participants and onlookers could not have imagined their race ending in tragedy but that's exactly what happened. A bomb ripped through the streets near the finish line of the marathon killing two and wounding twenty three, what was suppose to be a great race and tribute to the families of Newtown Connecticut became a war zone. This should be a reminder to all Americans just how vulnerable we all are and how quickly life can change.
How safe are fans attending sporting events in America? Will the horrific events surrounding the
Boston Marathon be a wake call for the sports industry or is this what we will come to expect as a realistic possibility when deciding to support our favorite sporting outing? Sports fans can tolerate just about anything but will they place themselves in harms way? I would guest no but there are to many examples of fans returning to the stands, stadiums and arenas despite a traumatic occurrence.
Boston Marathon Explosion Final Thoughts
So what is the answer? How do we protect ourselves from sick twisted individuals that mean us harm and don't give a damn about anything or anyone? The world is changing and America's enemies are growing, unfortunately there will continue to be terrible events like the
Boston Marathon Explosion, it will be up to us to watch over our fellow fans. We may not all cheer for the same teams but we are part of humanity and the actions of a few will not dim our spirits.
