About Footwork: The Podcast with Dr. Carl Suddler of Emory University
Footwork traces the lines between the pitch, the city of Atlanta, and the global stage to explore how a local soccer community fits into the complex puzzle of the global soccer world. The series goes beyond tactics to examine the culture, legacy, and power of the beautiful game through the voices of the players, architects, and storytellers who shape it.
In this episode, I speak with sports historian Dr. Jermaine Scott about the concept of “Black soccer” and history of soccer as a site of radical political resistance and diasporic connection.
