Sports 🥹🥹 At about the 70 minute mark last night during Palmeiras and Inter Miami, a family of five came into our section. All 3 kids wore Miami colors. According to the parents, they weren’t necessarily the biggest Miami fans — they just loved Messi. The oldest kid, maybe 6/7, was mesmerized by the Palmeiras fans constantly on their feet screaming and chanting. I’m not sure he quite understood what was being said but after a little bit, he decided to join in. By the end of the match, his Miami jersey was off, he was screaming at the top of his lungs and he was high-fiving Palmeiras supporters. And the Brazilian club might have picked up a new fan in the process. After being around sports for long, you sometimes forget its unifying power and what effects it can have on people.
