Baseball | Teaching Unity?!

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

    Yesterday (10/12/2019) was the beginning of the American League Championship Series (ALCS), between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees. The game brought back many memories of the same match-up that took place in 2017. Whilst the NY Yankees were able to take / win game 1; what evoked me to write was the example that sports or match-ups such as these could be utilized as teachable moments for politics and politicians. 

    Politics has shown us that even in the most neediness of times where unity should be placed at the national forefront, divisions are sought out. The teaching that sports can offer is that: even as fans, dedicated fans cheer their teams, win or loose - ultimately the teams play for one nation. This is why I think political parties need to re-focus. Utilize instances as these. Even amidst the cruelest of politics - one ultimately should remember that everyone plays for the same nation, the USA! Maybe it is lessons / teaching moments such as these, that should allow us to think further: What is, or is the re-making of America required? What is or what is the type of future that is envisioned for America?  

CHEERS!!! :)
