A year later, and some concepts continue to grow. The NFL, like most of the major leagues, are no stranger to the glitz, the glamor and the buzz of popular culture. We have power couples from the NBA to MLB to NWSL to the WNBA to the NHL to NASCAR. Musicians want to be athletes, athletes …
There was a time now pretty long ago when athletes…well almost everyone… had to seek out others to tell their story or show off their expressionism. When fashion came up around the games we love, Walt Frazier, Chris Evert, Muhmmad Ali, even Bill Walton in a different way, were the exceptions to the nod to …
