On Monday, June 15, sportswriter and scholar Jules Boykoff will discuss his book Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machine. At the heart of this analysis is the concept of sportswashing, where political leaders use sports to stoke nationalism and legitimize themselves on the world stage, deflecting from chronic problems at home.
