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.
Happy Mothers Day to all the Wonderful mothers of the world! Today is your day..
