This is a great book by @migueldelaney.bsky.social. If you want to understand how we got to where we are, and how sports washing impacts football, read it.
It’s the book I’ve wanted to write for years, and brings together a lot of themes I’ve covered for The Independent pendent for a bigger story I long felt was there
“Sportswashing” was the hook but you can’t talk about that without talking about where the game is
