Culture & Barbarism 13: Everything You Never Wanted To Know About FIFA And Now Are Afraid To Ask

Dennis Broe and Toby Miller are joined by special guest Jules Boykoff who writes about sports with Dave Zirin for The Nation. Jules has written several books on the World Cup and The Olympics including his latest Red Card . He leads off by discussing Trump's overthrowing of the red card which he says was accepted graciously by the player who received it. We talk about the 2024 Paris and the upcoming 2028 Olympics, both of which Jules is covering and which includes militarizing the playing fields, removing homeless and reshaping minority neighborhoods. Finally, we discuss sports betting; how it is a plague on workers, how it is being rigged and how Kalshi stole into the World Cup.
