The beautiful game’s transcendent moral implications
Yesterday evening, Selecao correspondent Nathan Motz accepted a unique opportunity to appear as a guest on the Moral Maze – a BBC radio broadcast dealing with matters of moral and ethical significance.
Is football a moral force for good? That was the question of the day, and each of the four guests were asked to discuss various aspects of the debate from financial fairplay to club takeovers by foreign entities to racism.
Nathan’s segment was concerned with whether football has transcendent moral value, and what that is exactly. Is there a greater significance to the game we are watching, or is it merely 22 humans kicking a leather ball into a net?
Join Nathan as he elaborates on the most significant takeaways of what was a fascinating discussion on the sport and morality in general.
