Sport allows people to come together, but politics divides people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think sports are meant to unite people.
Sport is a great equalizer that can build bridges, transcend borders and cultures, and render even the fiercest conflicts temporarily irrelevant.
Sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else I can think of.
Sports and politics don't mix.
Sports is the common denominator in the world that brings everyone together. If there's any one place in the world where there is equality, it is probably sports. That was something that didn't always exist. We've come a long way in sports. Why can't society use sports as a way to bring people together and create change?
You cannot mix sports with politics.
Sports are a microcosm of society.
They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.
Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.
Politics is a contact sport.
