Trump, FIFA & The Future of Sports | Why Politics Will Never Leave Sports Again

For years, sports fans have said the same thing: "Keep politics out of sports." But is that even possible anymore? In this edition of The Big Story, Jason Page examines the growing intersection between sports and politics following reports that President Donald Trump was involved in discussions surrounding FIFA and the suspension of U.S. Men's National Team star Folarin Balogun. Jason explores why politics has become impossible to separate from modern sports, from FIFA and international soccer to NIL, college athletics, LIV Golf, gambling legislation, stadium financing, athlete compensation, and even coaching decisions. Along the way, he looks back at some of the most significant moments in sports history—including Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Title IX, Olympic boycotts, congressional investigations into steroids, and the Supreme Court's impact on college athletics. Also on today's show: 🏁 Jerry Bonkowski joins SportsWrap to recap Chase Briscoe's victory at Chicagoland and discuss the NASCAR playoff picture. ⚾ Sam Yarnell breaks down the latest MLB storylines and reacts to the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup performance. 🏀 Jason discusses LeBron James' uncertain future and why the NBA's biggest free-agent domino may take longer to fall than many expect.
