The 4th of July and The Code

As we approach the 4^th of July it’s important for those of us in the USA to reflect on who and what we are as a nation.  Our democracy is not something that our founders began and which will continue automatically.  Democracy is something that is continually being remade by its people.  When the Code for Living was created, we had in mind capturing the values that are at the foundation of sport – but also are lived out off in the field in our homes, communities, workplaces and world.  Discuss with your teammates which are the most important tenets of the Code to you, and which are most important to our country.  How do you see the tenets of the Code reflected in our national life?  What are the three most important tenets to you?
