Playing for Peace
By: Bob | August 4th, 2006
I have to admit that it is tough reading the newspapers today. The violence, the hatred, the anger….and that is just in the sports section.
That is why it is nice to read about initiatives that use sports to promote a broader understanding. This weekend a group of U16 football players from Israel and Palestine are competing together as a Peace Team in Swiss U16 Cup. They’ll square off against youth teams like Chelsea and VfB Stuttgart.
I can’t pretend to know what it is like to walk in their shoes, but I do respect their courage. Win or lose, they’ve already won.
