Andrés Martinez, Author - THE GREAT GAME: ⁠⁠A Tale of Two Footballs

Andrés Martinez, Author of the book THE GREAT GAME: A Tale of Two Footballs and America’s Quest to Conquer Global Sport, joins Sports Business Radio to discuss how America's complicated and ever-evolving relationship with the world can be seen through the two footballs of the world — American football and soccer--and the interaction between them. With FIFA World Cup taking place on North American soil and helping to grow soccer in the United States, this is a fascinating look from a 2-Time Pulitzer Size finalist and former editor for the New York Times, LA Times and Wall Street Journal. Martinez is currently a professor at Arizona State University’s Cronkite School of Journalism. LISTEN to Sports Business Radio on Apple podcasts or Spotify podcasts.
