In the second part of Alex’s conversation with María Tribe, the two focus on the corruption, racism, and sexism that is prevalent in Soccer’s insitutions such as FIFA, the Spanish Federation, and other countries. María also reflects on her time playing semi-professional soccer in Spain and discusses there being a lack of strong influences for women and also she talks about the ignorance she experienced from others. In the end, the two talk about pop culture, Barbie, American Politics, and how there must be centrism and discourse in politics.

A Conversation with María Tribe Pt. 2 - Corruption in Soccer’s Institutions (FIFA, National Teams) & the Need for Political Moderation (Before It’s Too Late)

Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.
