The Footballer as the Soldier

Football, by far the world’s most popular sport, is the mirror of our society. Its Americanisation is visible as much as it is audible, as expressed by the autumnal voice of visitor Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, on 7 October at the IE Tower Auditorium.

Dear Mexico City,

Mexico City, I’m a dreamer. I dream of a place where everyone equally enjoys access to services, an efficient public transportation network, and accessibility for those who live in your darkest and most secluded areas. I dream of a place powered by non-polluting energy, a clean urban environment, and a well-functioning urban metabolism. You must rethink who you are and how you have changed and evolved.

The Paradise Paradox: Wherever You Go, There You Are 

Many of us operate with the belief that, once we're in that different country, the cooler city, or the place that comes to mind when we think of awesome, that everything will fall into place and we will be absolved of all our problems.

H for Hypocrisy. Does the United States practice what it preaches? 

With Trump 2.0, we have entered a world in which the role of the United States at the international level is much more isolationist, redefining its role at the global stage towards unilateralism under the premise of “America First.” Yet, it is imminent that wounds are already forming in the trust and stability of the long-standing post-war diplomatic relations.
