“Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart, and you’ll never walk alone. You’ll never walk alone".... Although some people never walk alone, others constantly face discrimination in English soccer stadiums. Is discrimination rising? In today's podcast we explore how common identity is created, but how soccer stadiums are used to discriminate. Enjoy! 

Today marks the kickoff of a new series! I had the pleasure of interviewing Professor Markovits from the University of Michigan, and co-author of Gaming the World, about soccer and politics. In this episode we talk about his book, soccer fans, and some of the uglier sides of being a football fan.... I highly recommend his book available at amazon among other places. Link below:
