Sports all over the world has played and will continue to play importance role in peace making and building.
Using Russian and Ukraine war as an example, the agitation and support of different sports organs eg football, tennis, basketball and the rest is playing important role in resolving the war.some sports even went ahead as suspending and disqualifying the parties involved.
In conclusion, sports is another way of life.aside the entertainment, the health benefits,it also helps in resolving conflict
You have a valid point when you asserted that sports could bring people together, but in the case of the Russia-Ukraine war, I doubt football can bring about a resolution when negotiations can't.
Health practitioners advise that one engage in physical exercises to help fluid movements and ensure a longer lifespan.
In the area of suspending Russia from participating in football and other activities, I see it as a means to discourage the war, but it looks like Putin has found a way to lighten the pressure oligarchs who have shares and own football clubs are mounting on him.
