Sportswashing and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar
Manage episode 350486848 series 3392432
The Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup has put the focus on a phenomenom called "sportswashing". Today we will talk about how sports are used by actors as a form of soft-power to create an image to the world. Is the World Cup an example of sportswashing? How does it fit into the historical context which has played out through the 20th Century?
Tune in to hear our discussion on sportswashing spanning a multitude of sports and different eras, how sport can play on people's emotions to create memories, and how how it's increasingly become an arena where geopolitical battles are fought for hearts and minds!
