The Chicago Blackhawks won last night, bringing home the Stanley Cup. A few hours before that, the Miami Heat celebrated their NBA Championship with a parade.

There are protests outside soccer matches in Brazil, the MLB season rolls on and athletes in other arenas around the world celebrate wins, or deal with the agony of defeat.
