Politics and sport have much in common. They are both action-oriented and participants will receive, loud and sometimes rough in them. That is why writers use similar words to describe politics and sport. In sports, people-centered around their hero, and if they are passionate enough, they can see an athlete to another, as the hope of the team. In this case, think that as that many Republicans Sarah Palin. She is the great white hope of a certain group of people who want to win at allCosts.

The comparison of the policy is more to baseball, football and boxing more than other sports. This is probably because these sports are aggressive. We identify with the action and the players. We observe and fire to our team. The same happens with political figures on a group level, in meetings where large groups of cheering major candidates. The symbols are sometimes quite explicitly recorded than in the Democratic convention happens when television cameras, Muhammad Ali, captured theold boxing champion, and we have the point. It's a different story going into this election, 2008 that the Achilles heel of politics in a sports-like drama that could hurt many of us, shows. The problem is magnified during difficult economic times when we need scapegoats. The story of Jack Johnson, the famous black boxer, whose championship fight brought the word of hope in a very different way than Obama. is one that reflects, given the amount that can collect SarahPalin as she gives rousing performances, the crowds on their feet screaming for blood to bring, at the same speed that the people shouting at football matches in the killer mode.

Jack was a guy who was the blunt risky fat, and had chances, but still the best description of boxing. He had white ladies on his arm and an in-you-face attitude .. It was characterized boxing's best. He defied social convention in behavior and attitude. had white ladies on his arm and was considered an arrogant guy who did not know, describedin its place. Personal symbols of sex, violence and an in-your-face attitude pushed him on his way to the top of boxing to be the heavyweight champion of the Negro division of it in the early 1900's. Jim Jeffries, his white counterpart in a segregated sport, did not want to fight a black man, but later said yes, some voices called for Jeffries' the great white hope. " Johnson beat Jeffries, angry white men, and things were bad. Johnson left Texas because of the violenceand threats. The "great white hope" was not him, but the controversy did not.

Barack Obama is bold. He was President of the Democratic Party's nomination in the direct and forceful tones. But unlike Johnson, his image is different. He is a very different type than Johnson in a very different time, but that's not the point. He is in a game against a strong opponent, who knows of some, their methods are backed up terribly. But his opponent is not John McCain at all. John McCain is an old man,wrong with the way in which the right wing of heroes. We can only watch to see if "the great white hope" Performances play again in the person of Sarah Palin.
