520 | _a"What could be more global than soccer? The world's leading professional players and owners pay no mind to national borders, with major teams banking revenues in every currency available on the foreign exchange and billions of fans cheering for their champions in too many languages to count. But in many ways, the beautiful game reveals much more about globalization's limits than its possibilities." (FOREIGN POLICY) The author discusses the world's most popular sport, soccer, and how "a tangle of intensely local loyalties, identities, tensions, economies, and corruption endures--in some cases, not despite globalization, but because of it." | ||
