From college stadiums to global arenas, sports are deeply woven into the fabric of American society. But beyond entertainment, what role do they really play in shaping our communities, values, and civic life?
In this discussion, we’ll explore how sports intersect with education, identity, politics, health, and global affairs. Topics will include the social divide in college athletics, the commercialization of professional leagues like the National Football League and the National Basketball Association, and the political implications of hosting international events like the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a casual observer, or a thoughtful critic, join us for a spirited conversation on how sports shape — and reflect — the values of a nation.
How to find us
Look for our placard that says “CIVIC DISCUSSION MEETUP” near the tables by Eddie V’s and the Post Office inside the Prudential Center. If the weather is nice, we might be in the courtyard instead. If you have trouble finding us, feel free to call 603-852-0286.
