It is nothing short of ironic (and, at the same time, part of the capitalist logic and the dominant systems that co-opt everything) that modern soccer teams emerged in the 19th century from workers’ guilds, from the proletariat organized into unions.

Exclusive Interview with Gerardo Hernández Nordelo (part 2)
