Why is this Important?
We are experiencing a rise in hate across the World that should concern everyone.
Our society is increasingly polarized, with interactions between diverse groups becoming more infrequent and misinformation or conspiracy theories about them gaining traction. We must take action to stop the advancement of Antisemitism, anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Asian hate and other forms of prejudice and discrimination.
Why Sports?
Members of the sports community have the ability to inspire and shape attitudes.
They have the ability to show cross-cultural unity. Sport can bring people together on neutral ground where they can rise above differences, break down boundaries and learn to work together.
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.”
“How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.”
