E14: PART TWO - Politics and Soccer

Listen Later

Nate stays on for PART TWO of Episode 14. While PART ONE focused on actual Minnesota United news and previewed the upcoming MLS is Back Tournament, PART TWO focuses on how soccer and politics are intertwined.

Topics of Discussion Include:

  • The Antifa movement which has gained a significant following throughout American soccer fanbases.
  • What FC Barcelona represents for its Catalan supporters.
  • The role of Red Star Belgrade supporters in the Yugoslavian Civil War.


    • The episode makes frequent reference to How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization by Franklin Foer (which Nate assigned to Justyn and Sam as homework).
