A Very Conscious Uncoupling with Andrés Martinez
About this episode
Andrés Martinez joins Sarah Spain to discuss the evolution of soccer in the U.S. and its cultural implications.
Andrés Martinez, the author of the new book “The Great Game: A Tale of Two Footballs And America’s Quest to Conquer Global Sport,” joins Sarah to discuss what it took for the U.S. to finally speak the language of soccer, FIFA finally reaching stateside audiences in the most ironic way, the surprising root of the term “soccer mom,” and how women’s soccer is a U.S. export despite the sport itself being an import. Plus, a last-minute battle to choose-your-own-adventure, cleared for the Storm, and what’s that I see? Way more airtime.
