Do World Cups Save Lives?
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide.
It's an eternal story told about soccer - that when Brazil gets knocked out of World Cups, Brazilians jump off apartment buildings. But is it really true? And could football actually be saving lives rather than leading to an increase in suicides?
