I used to play professional soccer with and against a number of players who participate(d) in world events like the Olympics and the World
Cups...trust me on this....at least when it comes to sports...
there isn't a single nation on this planet that is going to give up thier national identity. The Germans will NEVER say "okay, lett's disband our
team and merge with the Brazilians or the Italians or the French".
It's one thing to come together as a race of people, which in my opinion is a very good thing and would go a long way to elevating our overall
development as a species....that being said....getting tens or hundreds of million, or even a billion people to forget about their history and what
they've accomplished as a nation in order to form one world government will never happen.
Could there end up being a "shadow government or "mafia" that seriously influences the decisions of countries leaders around the world...I can see
that and I think we are closer to that concept than most of us would really feel comfortable with, but wiping out borders and nationalities just
isn't going to happen. Besides, there's way too much money for people to make on international sporting events. Billions of dollars are made on
stuff like the Olympics and the World Cup.
