Summary
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, but it is fueled by an undercurrent and history of sportswashing and corruption. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machine by Jules Boykoff (and published by OR Books), which analyzes and critiques the history and impact of sportswashing, politics, corruption, and authoritarianism on FIFA and the global sport of soccer as the 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and what we learn and take away from this incredible book in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
