After dealing with you on here, I see her point
But yeah, it's not completely universal, but it certainly transcends any so called race barrier.
That's also something I love about sports, while the athletes and fans may not necessarily be non-racist, overall I do think sports bring people together that would never interact otherwise. In '04 I went up to Calgary for a few of the games and go on the red mile, I've never been hugged and high-fived by so many white people in my life. At that moment I think the only color most people cared about was red, and it was a beautiful thing.
