THE UNITED STATES HAVE BEEN A POWERHOUSE IN WORLD SPORTS FOR A
LONG TIME. AMERICANS TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THEIR SPORTING
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND SPORTS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR
CULTURE.

SPORTS ARE VEHICLES FOR TRANSMITTING SUCH VALUES AS JUSTICE, FAIR PLAY,
AND TEAMWORK. SPORTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO RACIAL AND SOCIAL
INTEGRATION AND OVER HISTORY HAVE BEEN A "SOCIAL GLUE" BONDING THE
COUNTRY TOGETHER.
