Globalization

In the article "How Soccer Explain the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization" by Franklin Foer, he discusses how soccer is a big part of globalization. I thought this was a very unique point of view when looking at soccer and how it impacts the world. Although it was an interesting way of thinking, I thought he could develop his argument a little bit more. There are many other things in the world that bring people together. He wrote it in a very understandable way but his concepts were not very convincing. He compared it to other sports like football and baseball, but there are a lot more sports that bring people together. Many countries participate in the Olympics and the Olympics isn't just soccer, it's a handful of sports.
