Power Players
Description
66. Power Players
We're joined by journalist and author Ronny Blaschke for a deep dive into the relationship between football and power, and how colonialism is one of the most noticeable examples of power manifesting itself within football.
Power as a concept can be difficult to describe, but football clubs, supporters, associations and governments all leverage power to achieve objectives, strategically plan and bring about change in their societies through the medium of football.
