Games that divide us can exacerbate tensions in a city like Los Angeles, where communities are diverse and divisions already exist along lines of race, class, and culture. While sports fandom is meant to bring people together in support of their local teams, it can also highlight differences and fuel antagonism between fan bases in a large, fragmented metropolis. Municipal leaders and team owners in LA would be wise to find ways to promote unity and inclusion at games rather than allow them to become another flashpoint for social discord.
