Instead of looking at athletes as role models, he adds, maybe we should be looking at sports fans to fill that role, particularly in these politically polarizing times, because “fans have no less passion, commitment, or emotion when it comes to their beliefs than people do over politics, yet rival fans can argue and debate incessantly, even angrily, and then immediately return to civility and walk away, still friends. Don’t we need this now more than ever?”
