Sports and politics often intersect. Soft power, nationalism, dialogue and reconciliation are often showcased in arenas and on our screens. Sometimes it is governments, sometimes athletes, sometimes spectators. Some political messages are accepted and others are not. Football wars, boycotts, World Cup finals and athletes using their platform to express solidarity all show one thing: sports and politics coexist.
