Sports Year in Review: Top 10 sports stories of 2014

4. Athletes do the Ice Bucket Challenge

In 2014, the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS became a social media phenomenon. Athletes were lining up to get water dumped on them and challenging their peers to do the same for a great cause. One person would make a donation, nominate people they wanted to see take the challenge and have a bucket of ice-cold water or ice mixed with water poured over their head.
