Episode Swap: An American Game: A Boycott is a Flat Circle - The 1980 US Olympic Soccer Team
This episode first dropped on March 18. A few things have changed since the original airing of the podcast on 'An American Game.' The Iranian team is not boycotting the World Cup but instead of staying in close proximity to where they are playing their matches, they'll be staying in Mexico and having to travel long distances and go through security checks each day. Iranian fans have had their ticket requests pulled. A Somali referee was denied entry into the US and fans of Scotland also had their travel visas pulled just days before the start of the tournament. Sadly, it mirrors a lot of what was going on back in 1980. Check out 'An American Game' wherever you find your podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/an-american-game/id1826903443
