Sports and Nationalism in a Globalized World
Sports and Nationalism in a Globalized World 8JpAw
There is hardly a field that can honor a special national spirit like sports and football. We have witnessed when the Vietnamese national team has important football matches, all stadiums stand up to sing the national anthem, feel the honor and glory of the country. When the team won the championship, the whole country celebrated. At that time, even if the road is blocked, even if there is a car collision, everyone can easily forgive each other, because they all share a common joy, a common pride from sports. In such an atmosphere, anyone can feel that patriotism is the most sacred emotion, surpassing all other emotions.
Patriotism and national spirit can be quite general concepts, but they can also be very specific concepts through very specific actions. Sports have done many things that sometimes the lessons through books can hardly convey. That is also the reason why we love sports more and love our country more
