2013 may only be just over halfway over, but that doesn’t mean that there haven’t already been a huge number of absurd stories to emerge from the sports world. Athletes never cease to find new and creative ways to make fools of themselves, and we’ve seen some doozies already. We kicked 2013 off with maybe the story of the year, as Lennay Kekua became a household name before January was even over. More recently, Aaron Hernandez has redefined the misbehaving athlete game, being charged with the murder of one of his friends. Even though we’ve still got six whole months to go, now is a perfect time to chronicle the 25 Biggest Sports Fails of 2013 (So Far).
