| its easy to draw bad comparisons if you choose to, we can either look for good, or bad. I prefer good.
if you cant speak the language, are a different colur/race/religion and want to communicate without risking upsetting anyone, take a footbal any where in the world and this works in breaking the ice
watch any aid program and the first thing they do is get out a footie, it bonds and breaks down walls
for an example, look at Brasil - football = way out and a chance to do something which does not risk your life...many of the brazillians are from very poor backgrounds and its football that saved their lives, in return they not only give charity etc but inspire a nation of underprivaliged kids to know they can break the mould
its easy to knock something one doesnt like, far harder to praise its merits
and I never said they are heros, but I think there are peolpe and children, in particular, who will disagree with the view they are not....whos right?? |
