"The Playing Field: When Sports Go Global" with CCGA

For much of the past century, American sport was a world unto itself, with its own leagues, its own rules, and its own audiences. That appears to be changing. US investors are buying European football clubs, American leagues are playing games abroad, and with the FIFA World Cup arriving in North America this summer, sport has become a window into how American influence travels. What does sport reveal about how America engages with the rest of the world and how the world engages with America? What does it mean for teams, leagues, and fans when the game goes global? Join Andrés Martinez and Paul Poast as they discuss how global trends are transforming sports and what it means for the future.

This event is hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. We from The Geopolitical Forum can hang out and continue the conversation perhaps over a drink or bite after the event wraps up.
