The Football Politician — YouTube Channel Statistics

Ruud Gullit infamously once stated: "Politics and Football don't mix" His subjective view is one that is widely shared among many football fans around the globe today - However, I strongly disagree! In 2021 I successfully graduated my Masters degree in Geopolitical studies, the art of how geography can affect both domestic and international relations. Football is no exception from this. The large majority of football's biggest rivalries are a cause and consequence of distinguished political ideologies that have stemmed throughout the past century. Many of these developing from the local community which the clubs fanbase is geographically situated in. I personally believe many of football's derbies and victories are used as a social tool by fans to politically challenge their counter beliefs in a non violent manner. The goal of these football vlogs is to highlight the political affiliations of football teams by understanding their fan, club, geographic, and political history.
