Opposition to an Ad.

The ad I am creating an opposition for is about the Statue of Liberty holding a football. The backing for this ad is that it is a symbol for how sports in general uses a false idol which exposes the idea that sports just cover up social problems as opposed to solving them. While I agree with this position, I have to disagree and say that sports unites people as a community, a country or a continent.

I see it as a great way to show the Statue of Liberty holding a football but using it as a symbol of unity. The statue itself was a gift from the French, which I see as a way to unify two different countries, and the statue holding a football shows how that one sport, in particular, can unify a country like the United States. I think that despite people having different teams and views on who's a better player, sports are a common theme among all different countries. An example of this would be the United States & football and Europe & soccer.This common theme can create unions which in turn can form a number of social relationships that could help fix other problems, such as economics.
