Anxiety & depression are on the rise. Sports, in our case football, provide that safe environment. For people, to rebuild their confidence back. Especially with the warm community that everyone belongs with.

Take sports away. You kill their morale to rebuild themselves.
Discrimination & hate exists. Sports, in our case football, we can create a loving community through our beautiful diversity. While playing the beautiful game, compassionately for each other, & with each other.

Take sports away. You kill community building and nation-building.

Take sports away. You kill people's desire to be healthier.
