A very special episode as we spoke to the brilliant Israeli journalist Uri Levy about a fascinating story. Uri is the founder of the Middle Eastern football website babagol.net. He was the perfect person to talk to about a remarkable story of the takeover of Beitar Jerusalem by a UAE Sheikh, who's fan group La Familia are regularly viewed as having some of the world's most racist fans. (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/world/middleeast/israel-soccer-uae-beitar-jerusalem.html)
The club has never had an Arab player and the vicious reaction of the fans to the purchase in 2013 of 2 Muslim Chechens was documented in the documentary forever pure. Uri told us how this incredible takeover story has gone down, how everything does not appear to be as it seems, as well as gave his insights on the view on the controversial Qatar World Cup from the region. It was a fascinating discussion bringing together culture, racism and society.
