ESPN Has Athletes, Talent, Fans Pen Their #DearSports Letters

The network set up a dedicated website

ESPN has a question for the sports community during this prolonged absence from, well, sports: “If you could talk to sports, what would you say?”

The network debuted its dedicated #DearSports site, encouraging fans via a tweet to share their sports stories.

And its first #DearSports spot debuted during SportsCenter earlier this week.

Current and former athletes who were part of the spot included: Jared Allen (National Football League), Cliff Avril (NFL), Chelsea Gray (Women’s National Basketball Association), Holly Holm (Ultimate Fighting Championship), DeSean Jackson (NFL), Jimmie Johnson (Nascar), Lisa Leslie (WNBA), Nancy Lieberman (WNBA) and Amanda Zahui B (WNBA).
