À propos de ce contenu audio
Football just might be the greatest story ever told. However, inhis famous novel Nausea Jean-Paul Sartre warns us of astark decision we have to make, 'We have to choose: live or tell!' His character Roquentin (admittedly a bit of a miserable bastard) says we impose a narrative on our lives which without them are chaotic, raw and meaningless. But if we are honest we should have the cojones to live truthfully, no narrative just raw chaos!
League football was set up in England in 1888 bringing ithierarchies, an order, and an endgame to football. In other words a narrative.
Now the beautiful game has been organised into the greatest story with histories, myths, legends and dramas. It also has a point, which makes it non-existentialist. But was Wham! right? Should we 'choose life' or go with the stories? At FFP we're asking a question that is at the heart of the organised chaos that we call football.
Just like Financial Fair Play, we here at FFP have designed this podcast to be educational. Whether it works is a different matter entirely.
