Seems an awful lot of work just to commemorate a unification, when a simple handshake would have done the trick. Maybe a mug of beer.
Color me skeptical.

I don't know...doesn't building enormous baseball and football stadiums all over the country, almost always at great public expense, just to play meaningless children's games between factions from different cities ... seem silly? There's no reason enough players couldn't be obtained close at hand, rather than be imported from rival cities on different coasts, to play a game that requires only a plain grassy field and some beer. What is it in our psyche that draws more interest if the teams be "national" rather than all local?
