Franklin Foer, the author of How Football Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization, is a major contributor to the small topic of how football relates to the world. Foer, a native of the New Republic who writes from time to time in the well-known New York Times newspaper and the Wall Street Journal, has traveled throughout the world, particularly on the European continent, in Asia, and in North and South America. Moving on from the topic of why the Islamic religion, Islamic law and religious paramilitary militia prohibit passionate and diehard Islamic women; from attending and/or watching football matches and then celebrating as hard as men after the match if their country or favorite team wins. To the topic of how America relates to soccer when the middle class accepted the sport because of how little violence they thought the sport contained and how some Americans argue writers like Tom Weir of USA Today "that hating soccer is more apple pie American, driving a pickup truck or spending a Saturday afternoon flipping through channels with the remote control” (Foer 240). Most Americans who support this quote belong to the lower classes, to the liberals, to the majority of sports journalists and to narrow-minded Americans. These topics and/or chapters really show how soccer is creating more globalization around the world, especially with Islamic women shedding their traditions and trying new things like showing their passion for football. Also, America is trying to pass its apple pie and American football on Sundays to watch a beautiful football game. How Football Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization is actually divided into three groups; the first is about rivalries between clubs and human beings, the second... half of the paper... Pele would say, it's going to be a tough book. The font and double spacing make it a quick read at just 248 pages, which is very convenient if you want to read it in two weeks or less. The organization of the book was different because it didn't go from chapter to chapter like a novel. It was a book of mini stories. The pros are that it covers many topics, the cons are that it doesn't go into much depth. It was a little choppy because some chapters were supposed to come before others, but overall the chapters were placed very well in their places. But the organization of this book makes it easy to read. I would recommend How Football Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization as a leisure book to anyone who wanted it primarily for the theory of globalization. Other than that, anyone who loves or is interested in football should read this book.
