  2.  @gallowglass2630  Yeah, there's an interesting book outlining how Nelson Mandela utilized South Africa's rugby team to help overcome (the white people's) fear of ending apartheid. Helped some of the more ambivalent white folks realize that black folks loved the same sport and humanized them enough to change some minds.
