Question

Imagine that you have just given a presentation on using sports to create unity. Practice answering this question:

What about people who don’t like to play sports?

“I totally get that — not everyone wants to play sports, and unity shouldn’t hinge on athletic ability or interest. Sports are useful because they create shared rituals, stories, and volunteer opportunities that people can join in many ways — as fans, coaches, organizers, event volunteers, or simply by coming to community celebrations. The goal is not to force everyone onto the field but to use sport as one of several inclusive platforms where different strengths and interests can connect.”
Sample Response: There are ways for people to come together even if they are not playing. They can root for the team, design uniforms, raise money for equipment, and keep score. Even non-players can participate and be a part of the community.
