As we race towards the end of 2017, let's take a moment to look back at the Year in Sports in Boston and Beyond. There were big games and big wins for local teams, but so much of the sports collided with social issues and politics this year.

Some of the Top Sports Stories of the Year:

Patriots win Super Bowl LI
NFL Protests against Police Brutality (and President Trump's comments)
Racism at Fenway Park and another protest
Celtics rally after Gordon Hayward's injury and leading the Eastern Conference
Women's pay negotiations in USA Hockey and Soccer
#MeToo hits USA Gymnastics and Needham's own Aly Raisman
