The Sporting Class: Hydration Breaks, FIFA Trials and a Condo Full of Cats
About this episode
The episode explores John Skipper's experiences with soccer in America and the impact of federal corruption trials on the sport.
Ex-ESPN president John Skipper was once the most important soccer fan in America. But then he lost the World Cup to FOX — and became a federal witness. So we wanted to know what it’s been like to watch America fall in love with the very tournament Skipper wasn’t allowed to win. And whether federal corruption trials, nine figures worth of commercials and a Trump Tower apartment full of cats can slow the spread of the world’s favorite game. • Donate to the Kyra Fund, which will support research on Glioblastoma, one of the deadliest cancers Hosted on Acast.
