# Event Details - **Event Name**: Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machin - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Launch of Red Card with author Jules Boykoff, Brenda Elsey and Dave Zirin co-hosted by Golden GoalAbout this EventPublishing on the eve of the soccer World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, this concise, power-packed philippic provides a critical take on the dark underbelly of the beautiful game at its most storied moment.At the heart of this analysis by acclaimed sportswriter and scholar Jules Boykoff, who himself played soccer professionally, is the concept of sportswashing, where political leaders use sports to stoke nationalism and legitimize themselves on the world stage, deflecting from chronic problems at home. Step forward the recipient of the newly cast FIFA Peace Prize, Donald J. Trump, a titan unrivaled in squeegeeing every drop of personal wealth and prestige from hosting the competition. In this, he is ably assisted by a governing body of global soccer dripping in patronage and corruption.In these pages Boykoff demonstrates that it is possible to simultaneously treasure the skills and athleticism displayed on the pitch while lamenting their exploitation by malevolent powerbrokers for whom love of the game means nothing next to turning a buck or harvesting prestige. And, as Red Card so skillfully shows, this bait and switch is not confined to soccer. Precisely the same legerdemain will be used to distract and enrich when the Olympic Games come to Los Angeles two years from now. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/red-card-the-2026-world-cup-sportswashing-and-the-fifa-greed-machin/100001984893882033 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Contests, Sports, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: 40 Loisaida Ave - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: 40 Loisaida Ave - **lat**: 40.7217983 - **long**: -73.980231 - **full address**: 40 Loisaida Ave, 40 Loisaida Avenue, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machin - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Red++Card%3A+The+2026+World+Cup%2C+Sportswashing%2C+and+the+FIFA+Greed+Machin&date=Wed%2C+17+Jun%2C+2026+at+06%3A30+pm&bg=4 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machin being held? - **A:** Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machin takes place on Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 40 Loisaida Ave, 40 Loisaida Avenue, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machin? - **A:** Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machin is organized by OR Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
