With the unrest in Bahrain, many have been fearful of the upcoming event, assuming that it will be a place of protest instead of a venue of entertainment. This would be devastating to the Kingdom of Bahrain because the F1 Race has been its most profitable international event of the year since 2004. However, athletes and entertainers from the United States and around the world are supporting the Bahraini event, thus expressing their support to the Kingdom.
Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel,
famous German race car drivers for Mercedez Benz
and Red Bull respectively, have given their
support of the decision by the government of
Bahrain to proceed with the event.
Both Schumacher and Vettel will be competing in the race.
What is an event without some music? LMFAO, American electro pop duo, has committed to be the main entertainment attraction at the event later this month. The makers of "Party Rock Anthem" will certainly have the audience shuffling as they support Bahrain through their participation.
Many would say, "what is the purpose of a sports event and concert in the midst of unrest and protest? It seems so inconsequential and unimportant, and out of place." However, to these people, it's quite the opposite. This gives them an outlet to remember everything right in the world. Global friendship and involvement, dreams coming true, and good competition is what the Kingdom of Bahrain supports, encourages, and desires for all its countrymen. That is why they are having this event.
One may ask, "Well, what's in it for everyone else?" Quite simply, the kingdom of Bahrain is where these athletes and entertainers have the chance to continue chasing dreams. Whether it be to win a car race, or become a popular rock band, these talented people have a chance to put their talent on showcase in Bahrain. It's a beautiful gift.
Once again, we see how the US and Bahrain are closely connected as they strive to help each other in different ways. This time, the world is coming along for the ride! So strap in, start your engines, and party rock!
