I love Simon Kuper's writing. Simon Kuper writes in the FT: I'm belatedly warming up to historical pessimism. Even scientific progress has limited value. We now have vaccines against measles, but also a US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, who spreads doubt about vaccines. As for tech, this century it has probably worsened our lives. We now average nearly seven hours a day online, alone, increasingly atomised, stripped of privacy, absorbing nonsense. And think of other technological “advances”. True, vaccines contained Covid-19, but the CIA concluded that the pandemic probably began with a Chinese lab leak. Processed foods fuelled global obesity. Nuclear proliferation may worsen as the US stops protecting its allies. Above all, the technology of burning carbon has caused a kind of untreated planetary cancer. Being raised on Russian children's stories might have helped us grasp all this. https://www.ft.com/content/a3b6e6c1-831f-45bc-8565-81193ce07f5a From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Kuper: Kuper has written several books, starting with the William Hill awarded Football Against the Enemy (1994), which was later released in the United States as Soccer Against the Enemy. The Times wrote of the book: "If you like football, read it. If you don't like football, read it." In 2003 he published his book Ajax, The Dutch, the War: Football in Europe during the Second World War. He co-authored the 2009 book Soccernomics with Stefan Szymanski. The authors subsequently put forward a formula allowing Kuper to predict that Serbia and Brazil would play the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final. His book The Football Men, which was published in 2011, offered a collection of articles about the world of football over a span of 13 years, along with new pieces written specifically for this book. The Independent wrote that "Simon Kuper is a refreshing antidote to the current media obsession with 'getting the nannies [nanny goats = quotes]', however banal, from players. He doesn't mince his words: talking of past greats, he dismisses Bobby Charlton as "a dullard", Michel Platini "a weak character" and Pele "a talking puppet." Kuper's book Barça: The Rise and Fall of the Club that Built Modern Football appeared in 2021. It won the Sunday Times award for Football Book of the Year 2022. Also in 2021, Kuper released The Happy Traitor,[28] an account of the life and motivations of George Blake, a British spy for the Soviet Union. The narrative, praised for its detailed exploration and understanding of Blake's complex character, sheds light on Blake's ideological shifts and personal struggles with identity and marks a significant addition to Kuper's body of work. In 2022 he published Chums - How a Tiny Caste of Oxford Tories Took Over the UK, about the connections that enabled a university network to dominate Westminster.

One of the Detroit's Olympic bids unfolded right in 1963 - right alongside the Civil Rights Movement.  While one group saw an opportunity to brandish the city's glory, another feared an oversight of racial oppression and unrest. Detroit's Olympic Uprising, a new documentary from Detroit filmmaker Aaron Schillinger,  documents what happened when the two groups collided.  Detroit's Olympic Uprising will air on FOX 2 News on Saturday, August 3, at 2 p.m. Hear April Baer's conversation with Schillinger and two University of Michigan professors who offered their expertise for the film on the Stateside Podcast.

Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America. Extra Time is an additional weekly episode that brings additional guests into the fold. After releasing the Prologue and the first four Chapters of Founding Futbol, we share a few reflections on the initial topics and interviews. Then, we are joined by Stefan Szymanski and Silke-Maria Weineck to discuss their book, “It's Football, Not Soccer (And Vice Versa).” The Michigan professors share what motivated them to write the book and the methodology behind their academic approach to researching it. They explain why this is such an unusual linguistic scenario and share some of their favorite personal anecdotes that came out of their interviews and outreach. It's a fun listen and enlightening for anyone that doesn't know the history of the word “soccer” and has ever wondered why Americans (still) use the word when other countries have shunned it.  Visit our website for more information: ⁠FoundingFutbol.com Host: Kent Malmros Guests: Stefan Szymanski and Silke-Maria Weineck (Co-Authors) Learn more about your ad choices.

Evidence from Nazi Germany and 1940's America (and pretty much everywhere else) shows that discrimination is incredibly costly — to the victims, of course, but also the perpetrators.

La demi-finale de la Coupe du monde de football opposera la France au Maroc. La qualification d'un pays émergent à ce niveau de la compétition est rarissime. Cet événement est-il lié à l'essor économique du royaume chérifien ? La corrélation entre développement économique et performance footballistique est très forte, démontre une étude menée par des économistes du sport – Stefan Szymanski et Melanie Krauze – sur la période 1950-2014. Leur conclusion : les pays dotés d'une longue expérience du ballon rond, d'un très bon niveau de développement et très peuplés ont, de fait, une expertise et des moyens financiers importants pour former les talents détectés. Ils sont les mieux placés pour gagner la compétition. À travers ce portrait-robot, on reconnaît tout de suite les grandes nations du ballon rond, d'Europe et d'Amérique du Sud. Pour rejoindre cette élite, il faut donc réunir toutes ces caractéristiques. Le Maroc coche une partie de ces cases C'est une démographie vigoureuse avec 37 millions d'habitants, plus 4 millions à l'étranger. Et une économie en pleine transformation depuis vingt ans. Le royaume a mis les bouchées double pour émerger, en développant une industrie destinée à l'exportation. Et logiquement, le ballon rond en a profité. Le centre de formation de football capable de rivaliser avec les équivalents européens en témoigne. Son coût, treize millions d'euros, est un investissement lourd à l'aune de son niveau de développement. L'académie Mohammed-VI a été créée en 2009 pour former les futurs joueurs de la sélection nationale. Elle a, en partie, rempli sa mission cette année, plusieurs des joueurs présents au Qatar sont issus de cette école d'excellence. Les Marocains peuvent donc rêver de la finale ? Après avoir battu des grands pays de football comme la Belgique, l'Espagne ou le Portugal, ils ont de bonnes raisons d'y croire. Mais l'histoire de la Coupe du monde nous enseigne que lorsqu'un pays émergent parvient à ce niveau de la compétition, surmonter de nouveaux obstacles devient de plus en plus improbable. Car si le Maroc élimine la France, il y aura encore une autre grande nation de foot à vaincre : l'Argentine ou la Croatie. C'est comparable au fossé qui sépare les économies émergentes des économies avancées. Le franchir paraît souvent hors de portée. Cette année, des avanies en série, le Covid-19, la sécheresse, et maintenant l'inflation, sont par exemple en train de brutalement freiner la croissance de l'économie marocaine et de la ramener des années en arrière en termes de lutte contre la pauvreté. La France, grand favori des demi-finales, est aussi l'un des tout premiers partenaires économiques du royaume La France est le premier investisseur du Maroc et le Maroc le plus grand bénéficiaire de l'aide fournie par l'Agence française du développement. Mais cette apparente « soumission » économique n'est pas éternelle. Sur ce terrain-là, comme sur le gazon, les lignes sont en train de bouger entre les deux pays. En Afrique subsaharienne où le Maroc est très actif, il est perçu, à tort ou à raison, comme un concurrent de la France. Les Marocains dominent, par exemple, le secteur bancaire autrefois contrôlé par des établissements tricolores. Dans le domaine de la défense et de l'industrie qui va avec, Rabat compte désormais sur son rapprochement avec Israël pour développer une filière d'export. Il y a bien un match économique entre l'ancienne puissance coloniale et le nouveau poids moyen du continent. Paris en a pris la mesure et vient de nommer à Rabat un nouvel ambassadeur rompu aux questions économiques. Christophe Lecourtier était jusqu'alors patron de Business France, la structure chargée de doper la présence des entreprises françaises à l'étranger. Mais sur la pelouse mercredi soir, place au sport, et que le meilleur gagne ! ► À lire aussi : En Afrique comme en France, l'exploit des Lions de l'Atlas salué par la presse  

In this episode we discuss Soccernomics: Why European Men and American Women Win and Billionaire Owners Are Destined to Lose by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. Next time we'll discuss The Authenticity Hoax: How We Get Lost Finding Ourselves by Andrew Potter.

Cricket is a game layered in statistics, mythology and history. But in their new book journalist Tim Wigmore and sports economist Stefan Szymanski use data and statistical analysis to understand the changes the game is going through and predict how it will grow in future. The book Crickonomics: The Anatomy of Modern Cricket touches on all aspects of the game, from the rise and impact of Twenty20 cricket, how India came to dominate the game both on and off the pitch and the reason behind New Zealand cricket's recent success. Kathryn talks to Tim about his love of cricket, how they came together to write the book and some of the most interesting discoveries in the data.

Today's first guest is Stanford Economics Professor Paul Oyer who has written the book An Economist Goes to the Game: How to Throw Away $580 million and Other Surprising Insights from the Economics of Sports. Paul will discuss which sports your kids should play. Why South Koreans dominate women's golf? And how does game theory inform us whether Michael Jordan should take the last shot or pass the ball to another player?Our second speaker will be University of Michigan economist Stefan Szymanski who is the author of Soccernomics. Our discussion will focus on the economics of all thing's soccer including why European soccer owners lose money, and why do certain soccer positions take most of the earnings.

With half the clubs in the Premier League now owned or part-owned by Americans – and more likely to follow - we ask what the growing US influence could mean for our national sport. The American vice-chairman of Leeds United Paraag Marathe tells us about his love for the "jeopardy" of English football. Former Liverpool defender John Scales, now an ambassador for pressure group Fair Game, says more needs to be done to protect the traditions and heritage of the game. And leading football economist Stefan Szymanski predicts how the tensions between Americanisation and football traditionalists could play out in the future. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Matt Slater Producer: Sam Sheringham

The case for reparations in women's football. It's a big statement. Here at The Dive, we first thought it was just clickbait. So we reached out to the journalist Simon Kuper who penned this article for the Financial Times - ‘Women's football: the case for reparations.' With the success of England's Lionesses close in our rear view mirror, we wanted to explore this rich history of women's football that we just were not aware of. Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski have a new edition of their book - Soccernomics - coming out shortly. In their new edition that's being published ahead of the World Cup, they outline the case for reparations for the women's game in full.

England beat New Zealand at Lord's to give Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes a winning start to their leadership of the Test side after Joe Root's fourth innings hundred helped them chase down 277 at the Home of Cricket. The panel of Jo Harman, Yas Rana and The Telegraph's Tim Wigmore react to the Test and talk about some of the questions that are explored in Tim's new book – Crickonomics: The Anatomy of Modern Cricket – that he co-authored with Stefan Szymanski, such as, why do New Zealand play so few Tests?

In the NEW episode, number 238, host Kartik Krishnaiyer speaks with economist Dr. Stefan Szymanski (Soccernomics co-author) to discuss several major topics relating to the economics of world soccer, including: • Why the Premier League is...

GUQ Professor Danyel Reiche spoke to Simon Kuper, Financial Times columnist and bestselling author, about Kuper's new book "The Barcelona Complex," as well as the links between Qatar and FC Barcelona, and how Lionel Messi's recent transfer from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain can be related to the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022.

His book "The Barcelona Complex," about FC Barcelona, appears in August 2021 with Penguin Press.

After much discussion, and pandemic delay, the Tokyo Olympics begin this month. It's an exciting moment for both athletes and viewers. While the Olympics can be really fun to watch, they're also a stage in which the discrepancies between global haves and have nots is in plain sight. And the politics of who gets to host the games can tell a story, too. Today, we'll dig into Detroit's multiple bids to host the Summer Games, and whether those bids could have changed the course of history for the city.  GUEST: Dr. Stefan Szymanski, professor of sport management at the University of Michigan NOTES: Looking for more conversations from Stateside?

With football's Euro Championship under way, many people love the passion that comes with supporting their team. But this reminds us that many more people feel disconnected from domestic football – and not because of the pandemic or stadium exclusions. The problem is much more about absentee owners, sky high ticket prices and the ruthless fracturing of the fan-club relationship.Ross Ashcroft is joined by professor of sports management Stefan Szymanski and football writer Devon Rowcliffe to discuss how rampant profit seeking is ripping the soul out of the beautiful game.

Dr. Stefan Szymanski, Stephen J. Galetti Professor of Sport Management at the University of Michigan, and Harry Watling, Head Coach of the Hartford Athletic, sit down to talk about what the proposed Super League means for the future of the world's most popular sport. The initial effort collapsed in spectacular fashion, and in the process, drew the near unanimous ire of the world's 3.5 billion soccer fans. Is this saga, at its heart, a battle between globalization and nationalism? How did the American sports model inform the decision to create a Super League in European soccer? Moderated by Amanda Jolly, VP of Programs & Communications.This conversation was in partnership with the Hartford Athletic and sponsored by Hoffman Auto Group.

Existe la polémica del mundo que si el término Soccer fue inventado por los Estados Unidos, y la realidad es que hasta mediados de los 70's la gente en Inglaterra usaba esa palabra, y que ahí nació, pese a que en el mundo se ha tropicalizado, hay infinidad de variantes de este deporte y por ello el autor del libro "It's Football, Not Soccer (And Vice Versa)" nos platica de ello. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rigoplascencia/support

The English Premier League is a multi-billion dollar industry that's enjoyed almost unparalleled success and growth as a global brand since its inception 25 years ago. But COVID-19 has wiped-out match-day revenues, and simmering tensions over the financial structure of the league have recently boiled over. Add to that a cooling market for broadcast rights which would hit club income. So is the world's most famous football league beginning to lose its shine? Oliver Regan has been assessing the outlook. We spoke to Stefan Szymanski in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's a Professor of Sport Management at the University of Michigan. He's an expert on the economics of sports, focusing on football. He's also written extensively on the subject, including co-authoring the New York Times bestseller, Soccernomics. #PremierLeague #BroadcastRights #EnglishPremierLeague

Cafe Footballers will remember Soccernomics from our first podcast.  Billy Beane, GM of Oakland Athletics and of Moneyball fame considers Stefan the "Bill James of Soccer", the analytical underpinning of a sport with talent scouts, managers, executives, even fans who rely more on perceptions & opinion vs. objective data.

Stefan Szymanski has had an interesting week ever since launching his April 23, 2015 blog post which was the shot heard around professional soccer. Using information from a source close to Major League Soccer, Szymanski detailed what he felt were specific issues with the MLS financial model, comparing it to both a pyramid scheme and suggesting the potential for the league's collapse. This created a firestorm of online controversy, with readers both for and against his assertions, and even fostered a response from the MLS Commissioner Don Garber. Szymanski covers his post, point-by-point, on the podcast, as well as explains some of the reasonings behind each factor listed, addresses some of the issues that critics of his post had, and whether any new information has come out that has either confirmed or changed his view points. Twitter: @SSZY   Note: This podcast episode was the first time that I felt the need to expand the intro (over 10 minutes, which you can skip if you feel its not necessary) to explain not only my thoughts on the entire subject, but some of the issues surrounding Szymanski's interview and blog post, as well as sports business financial systems in general.
