The Football Politician
Великобритания
Добавлен 4 ноя 2021
Ruud Gullit infamously once stated: "Politics and Football don't mix"
His subjective view is one that is widely shared among many football fans around the globe today - However, I strongly disagree!
In 2021 I successfully graduated my Masters degree in Geopolitical studies, the art of how geography can affect both domestic and international relations. Football is no exception from this.
The large majority of football's biggest rivalries are a cause and consequence of distinguished political ideologies that have stemmed throughout the past century. Many of these developing from the local community which the clubs fanbase is geographically situated in.
I personally believe many of football's derbies and victories are used as a social tool by fans to politically challenge their counter beliefs in a non violent manner.
The goal of these football vlogs is to highlight the political affiliations of football teams by understanding their fan, club, geographic, and political history.

THE MOST UNDERRATED RIVALRY IN CENTRAL EUROPE? THE EAST BOHEMIAN DERBY; PARDUBICE VS HRADEC KRALOVE
In March 2024, I travelled to Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. To watch them take on their archrivals: FK Pardubice, in what is known as the East Bohemian Derby for the first time in their newly built stadium. (CHECK OUT THIS VLOG FOR THE RETURN FIXTURE).
The game left a big impression on me in a good way ... the scenes were everything a derby should be ... So i had to return to experience it in the reverse fixture at FK Pardubice. It surely couldn't get any better than the first time around ... could it? Well it did.
The return derby fixture had it all from plenty of goals, pyro shows, and a red card !
In sum, a really underrated derby in both Czechia and Central Europe that has rekindled ...
