The Power to Unite and Divide

At times, many of us have reacted to a professional sporting event as if it were a matter of life and death.  For professional soccer players in Colombia during the ’80s and ’90s it was.  The recent ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, The Two Escobars, focuses on Pablo Escobar and Andres Escobar (no relation) and their drastically different views of and impacts on Colombian soccer.  Not only is the film ripe with discussion material for sports and religion/theology, it is one of the best documentaries I have seen in quite a while.
