Sports Activities Can Help Building a Peaceful Nation.

Sports, like any other helpful activity can bring peace to any community. Peace is a must for any nation and many third world nations are craving for peace right now. These activities create a distraction from various problems people face and give them something to smile about amidst all the violence.

There cannot be a greater example of a sport bringing a country closer than Iraq in 2007. Iraq were the 2007 AFC Cup Champions in a time when the country was buried deep in war with the US. People all over Iraq were in sheer distress and a lot of people were considered nomads because they had no place to live and used to move all over the country looking for shelter.

They had no guarantee that they would live to see the dawn, but, when the national team won the Asian Cup, the country rejoiced. There was finally something to cheer about for the people and there was a good feeling all over the country. The team played it's part in helping to put a smile on the nation's face.

People often take sports as an unnecessary or leisure activity which takes time away from people in which they could do something constructive, but, sports is a very important thing in our daily lives. We often don't know what something can actually do but like the 07' Iraqi team, there are alot of other teams proving that sports has such a unique quality that gives people a reason to feel good about no matter how bad their condition is.
