Daniel Matamala

4.9/5 (14820 ratings)

Description:In this thesis for his Master of Arts in Journalism from Columbia University, Chilean journalist Daniel Matamala explores the relationship between sports and politics, looking at what voters' favorite sports can tell us about their political leanings and how this can be and is used to great effect in election campaigns. He finds that -unlike soccer in Europe or Latin America which cuts across all social barriers- sports in the United States can be divided into "red" and "blue".During wartime or when a nation is under attack, sports can also be a powerful weapon for fuelling the patriotism that binds a nation together. And it can change the course of history.In a key part of his thesis, Matamala describes how a small investment in a struggling baseball team helped propel George W. Bush -then also with a struggling career- to the presidency of the United States. Politics and sports are, in other words, closely entwined, and often very powerfully so.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
