Fútbol contra el enemigo

The way sports intersect with politics is fascinating, but I'm curious what sparked Kuper’s focus on soccer as a catalyst for change and power.

It’s striking how the sport is wielded as a political tool; I wonder if this made others reflect on how sports influence societal perceptions of authority.

The selection of cases felt both broad and detailed, but I’m curious whether there was a specific criteria or narrative arc guiding these choices.
