About this listen

In this spirited episode, hosts Shangbie and Haris dive into the world of sports, where passion collides with politics, and the playing field is anything but level. Fresh off Arsenal’s sensational Champions League semifinal berth (and a cheeky dig at Liverpool’s woes), the conversation takes a sharp turn into the deeper currents of race, class, and hypocrisy in global sports.


Specifically, we discuss the Western male gaze on sports that are popular in the Global South, the hypocrisy in the Paris Olympics, and Eurocentrism and Elitism in football.
