Sport has an uncanny ability to unite an entire nation, even world, in a way that almost no other medium can. Nations come together as one to support a single team or athlete. Wars are postponed in lieu of athletic competition. For a few moments, every quarrel halts, every hatred ceases for one reason. What other medium has as profound an impact as Sport? The immediate argument is Religion, but while Sport halts wars, religion is at the very center of many. So why is it that sport transcends? That is what I hope to tell you through this Blog, assuming of course that I can find the answer myself. This Blog will serve not as a recount of sporting events, but as an examination of the human relationship with the intangibly-concrete idea that is Sport.
