From their kitchen tables, living rooms and backyards, with their pets and kids and significant others in tow, some of the most recognizable faces in sports are honoring front-line medical workers in the fight against Covid-19.

And they’re doing it in the most visible way possible: plastering the names of emergency-room doctors, obstetricians and EMTs on their game-day jerseys, racing suits, polos and tanks, and then breaking into stadium-quality cheers.

“The world of sports thanks you for reminding us what it means to be great,” says the two-minute PSA that documents the effort.
