We have seen Orlando come together before.
Usually it would be in jubilation. Sports tends to have that power to bind a community and bring them together under a single flag. People off all kinds of backgrounds coming to that communal space to cheer for players with their city’s name across their chests on jerseys and t-shirts and the like.
The exuberance that comes from those moments when a city is in the spotlight and everyone can claim some ownership of greatness lifts everyone up. It creates a connection between total strangers. Everyone cheers for their team.
