Soccer Vs. The State by Gabriel Kuhn


Still on my soccer binge. Now I thought that 'How Soccer Explains the World' was just great. Each chapter was about how soccer in woven into a country's fabric of life. Great reading.


Not sure what I thought when I saw this on the rack at Barnes and Noble. Kuhn is a self-professed European leftist. What I found in the first chapter was a rant on how, throughout history, that soccer has  interfered with the masses being involved in leftist politics. Damn workers were more interested in playing a game rather than doing something important for the proletariat. 

Seriously? I never got into the 2nd chapter. Sure glad I got it from the library rather than spend the money.
