Sport As A National Identity Reflection Paper – Sport as a National Identity The world of sports has left our country full of emotions. Sports can make us laugh, cheer, hate, and even cry. It is very powerful and it has a major impact on the lives that we lead. Many times we can see people, including myself, rushing through their work, dinner, and family time in order to be in front of the television before the start of a big game. The World Series this year was one of the best series of all time. It was filled with so much emotion because it was the dominant Yankees, representing New York after the September 11 tragedy, against the newest team and underdog, Arizona Diamondbacks. You could not take your eyes off the game because if you did you might have missed some of the most significant and amazing comebacks in history. That World Series also meant a lot to our country for our National pride. My heart was filled with emotion, but also pride when the television focused on the flag that was flying over Yankee stadium during the World Series.
