This discussion, to me, perfectly captured the essence of the course as a whole, and felt like a perfect closure to the semester - how soccer can be effectively used a platform through which we can evaluate the larger social issues at hand.īass’s novel paints the picture of the Lewiston Blue Devils’ victory as “what happens when America works like it’s supposed to” - a real-world manifestation of the cliché of a melting pot of different cultures, mending a city that was drastically divided across racial lines.
Our discussion following the reading of Amy Bass’s One Goal: A Coach, A Team, and the Game that Brought a Divided Town Together revolved around the issue of cultural identity and American soccer.
