“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in ways little else does. It speaks to youths in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.” Nelson Mandela
This quote was shared in this time as we deal with Malaysia's ban on some athletes from a certain country. Politics should not encroach into sports. But sports can be used to overcome the prejudices set by politics. Nelson Mendala not just spoke about it - he demonstrated it by using sports to unite his country.
*His wonderful song which was featured in the soundtrack of Phenomenon.
