On this episode of The People's Game, co-hosts Alan Minsky and Mel Figueroa spend the hour with Ryan McKnight, a doctoral researcher at Manchester Met University in the UK who is researching the impact of Neoliberalism on what he calls 'The Opportunity of Football Fandom'. Football fandom, according to Ryan, is the last remaining act of large scale collectivism here in the UK, and offers a unique window into the nature of society and the contestation of what football means and is to fans in the UK and throughout the world today. Next, Alan Minsky speaks to former Congressman Jamaal Bowman to get his thoughts on the WC and the victory of the Knicks and how that's being experienced in NY.
