Yesterday was the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. Many young Americans don’t remember that terrible day. They were either too little or weren’t even born yet. But Gen Z had their version of the 9/11 attacks on Wednesday when conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem. The psychological impact was just as profound for this current generation. We still can’t gauge it yet. And while the body count is nowhere near comparable, it doesn’t matter. One life lost to an act of terror is too much.
Still, Trump ventured to New York City to watch the Yankees take on the Detroit Tigers, where he met with players inside the clubhouse, telling how he was a friend of the late George Steinbrenner and how it was a mentally exhausting endeavor to watch games with him.

“It was brutal,” he said. Though he declared that the Yankees would win last night, and they did 9-3. Members of the Tigers team even did the Trump dance.
Some in the low-life media focused on the few boos hurled Trump’s way. Those people don’t get it. They never will. With the background of the Kirk assassination and the 9/11 anniversary, the point is that there’s nothing that can bring a nation together more than a baseball game. It happened when George W. Bush threw the first pitch after we suffered that deadly attack from al-Qaeda. It still serves a purpose now. Sports fans come from all backgrounds. It doesn’t matter what your race, creed, ethnicity, or political affiliation is—all are welcome. That theme embodied what Charlie Kirk was trying to do on college campuses: everyone can come and have a conversation. Anyone can come to a ballpark, football stadium, or Madison Square Garden to watch the Yankees/Mets, Giants/Jets, Knicks, and Rangers play.
