Sunday, May 10th was Mother’s Day, and as to be expected, athletes everywhere took the opportunity to honor their mothers. Some had on-field tributes, and most took to social media to send out messages thanking their mothers for the sacrifices they put forth for their families.

Here is a sampling of Mother’s Day messages around the sports world today, and we here at TheAOSN would also like to wish all mothers a happy Mother’s Day, as well as to add a note to those who have lost their mothers that you are in our thoughts and may their memories live on long in your hearts.
