The Team That Needed An Enemy

By Chris Baker

This story is a gentle introduction to something Rene Girard noticed about groups; internal conflict often dissolves not because it gets resolved but because it gets redirected onto an outsider.

This is what's known as the scapegoat mechanism. But real unity doesn't need an enemy. Katie chooses kindness, breaking that sense of borrowed peace and bringing real peace among both teams, breaking the rivalry.
