Live Interview: How the 'Pandemic Games' Expose the Neoliberal Scam of Global Sporting Events
Published 4 years, 8 months ago
Description
In this recording of a Live Interview for Patrons from 7/22, we discuss the scheduled shock doctrine of global sporting events like FIFA and the Olympics and how they use the PR spectacle of sports––and the emotional blackmail of "supporting athletes"–– to enhance security states, displaced the poor, loosen environmental and labor restrictions, and, above all, serve the interests of large corporate advertisers and real estate developers.
with guests Shireen Ahmed and Jules Boykoff.
