In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Jared Ball. They discuss Jared growing up in Maryland and how his interest in the football has evolved over time given his and the game's political stances. How sports were and are used by imperial nations to control their populations, and how those populations can use sport to highlight or interrogate areas of interest. The customary quick fire round is truncated, but Pelé, Mbappé, and Donny Hathaway get a mention nonetheless.
