Reddit reviews How Soccer Explains the World

No, not bullshit. In Argentina it's especially true. In the Balkans, it's gone past paying Ultras, to the point that politicians recognized their ability to organize and empowered them to be political and violent forces, such as in the Balkan war with Arkan and Red Star Belgrade. There's a great book that came out in 2005 written by Franklin Foer that goes into detail about how football has crossed the boundaries of sport into culture, economics, politics and more. It's called "How Soccer Explains The World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization.".

Have you read How Soccer Explains the World? It does a great job talking about hooligans, ultras, and basically how politics and soccer are so intermingled in some countries. Anyway, are you a season ticket holder? And what was the biggest hooligan brawl you've been in?
