Sport brings nations and cultures together, but it also serves to manipulate and divide. From Europe to the colonies, from the Americas to the now independent countries, public policies have aimed as much at educating and bringing people together as at discriminating, stigmatising and serving as a vector for anti-Semitism and racism.
