Libero 032: Jesus Had A 2,000-Year Headstart On Ronaldo

This episode was recorded before the tragic news about the death of Diogo Jota and his brother.

Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and, eventually (18:41), James Horncastle try to get their heads around the sheer size of modern football. What happened to other sports? What special advantage does football have over everything else? And what is it about football that has allowed it to become the dominant cultural force in the modern world.

And with football now in such a powerful position in the media landscape, the natural next question is whether or not this is actually good for the game.
