American Paralympian Ezra Frech implored sports fans to tune in to the Paralympics this year, especially if they're looking for high-level sporting action.
Sports fans will tune into the Paris Olympics in July and August and cheer for their countries and favorite athletes, and after that, most will turn their attention to college football and the NFL. American Paralympian Ezra Frech made clear there’s still a major event in between the football season – the Paralympic Games. The event will begin on Aug. 28 and run through Sept. 8.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, he implored the average sports fan to tune in to high-level competition. 'I would hope that the average American or average recognizes how elite some of these sports are,' Frech said. 'People get confused and sometimes feel sorry for some of the athletes. There is no place for pity in the Paralympic Games. These are the best athletes on the planet. They just happen to have a physical disability.
Of course, it’s going to be inspiring. OF course, it’s going to be jaw-dropping and shocking and amazing, the same way any other sporting event is. But by no means do you watch the Paralympic Games to feel sorry for athletes. This is elite sport.' Frech, who nearly medaled in the Tokyo Paralympics three years ago, said he expected this year’s event to really resonate with the sporting audience.
