Writing for his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s website, The Sunday Paper, Pratt addressed the results and said, “I’ve been thinking a lot about where we will be as a nation on November 6, how we move forward.” How can we try to move forward after so many divisions, and how some of the lessons that sports teaches us may be exactly what we all need as we navigate the path forward.”
Comparing sports wins and losses, Pratt added, “I feel like we live in a time when a lot of people have yet to learn that lesson. Sometimes your team does not win. As I write this, the 2024 presidential election is three days away. The biggest game ever is around the corner. Team Red vs. Team Blue. A rematch for the ages. A showdown took four years in the making.”
Addressing supporters of both Trump and Harris, Pratt advised them to be measured in their responses. “When you lose, it’s OK to take some time to nurse your wounds,” he said. “Hey, go ahead and cry in the mirror. But if we become too paralyzed by defeat or too egotistical in victory, loyalty to our ‘team’ can blind us to the fact that we are fellow countrymen.
