Why the World Cup has nothing to do with sport
About this episode
The episode discusses the intersection of football, politics, and celebrity culture surrounding the World Cup.
Did the World Cup final hit different from the million dollar seats or was the best thing about them the helicopter that flew you back to New York City? On Free State, today we ask who mourns the end of Gianni Infantino’s dance with Donald Trump and the depraved nature of football today? Dion does and he explains why football still matters despite the decadence at the top of the game. Things get heated as they discuss it and Dion wonders if he’s talking to Joe or Fr Dougal.
