Summary
This week Aaron Dolores, founder of Black Arrow FC is back and we're discussing How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization by Franklin Foer. This book takes a look at the world's most popular sport, and how changes in the social and political landscapes are mirrored on the pitch. With The World Cup in full swing, we discuss racism in soccer, we hypothesize as to why Americans aren't that into the sport, and we encourage you to pick a team and start rooting.
You can find everything we discuss on today's show on The Stacks' Website: https://thestackspodcast.com/2018/06/20/ep-12-how-soccer-explains-the-world-by-franklin-foer
