Ahead of the game between the Florida Gators and South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, the University of Florida’s football Twitter account released a statement on the topic of equality.
Equality doesn’t mean we all have to look alike or do all things the same. Equality is simply having equal opportunity to not only make the best of a situation or task, but to also have equal ability to come together for a common cause without bias.
If only our society could operate like a football locker room. Players, coaches, and staff are all different races, come from different ethnic backgrounds, and all have experienced different upbringings. Despite all differences in a locker room, everyone is given an opportunity to make the most of their individual talents to contribute to the success of the team. Regardless of how large or small a player’s contribution is to the success of the team, it’s valued and respected.
We want o to challenge everyone to live by the words that “All people are created equal.”
