always feared the metaphor of football players as modern gladiators (so unoriginal). However, Pep Guardiola, coach of FC Barcelona took it literally, as seen in the video "motivational" he projected his players minutes before going out there in the stadium in Rome to contest the final of the League of Champions of Europe.
do not know if Guardiola will be aware of possible interpretations. The first association, the most spontaneous, is with the Roman Circus. Not for the gore-soccer is a contact sport, but no comparison with a death struggle. The Circus was the mass entertainment of one of the largest empires in history. Let's say that Roman is in many ways the model of modern imperialism. Michel Hart and Tony Negri took the idea of \u200b\u200b"empire" to analyze the systems of domination in the globalized post-industrial capitalist society - or postmodern, if you prefer.
Will football players gathered from all nations for entrepreneurs in the sports-entertainment-business managers to entertain the audience planetary plebeian?
Television and the Internet - controlled by large transnational corporations, provide a good platform for the Global Circus.
As we watched at home or in a pub, the football genius stunts like Messi and Ronaldinho, the guardians of the Empire tortured - a secret and with impunity in Guantanamo and Abu Grijab.
