BEYOND THE RED ZONE: SOCCER CORRUPTION IN URUGUAY ft. Josema from La Locura de Bielsa

Follow Josema at his YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCnbJZLkA07N6sRNCOSDTMrQ When a Soccer analyst YouTuber from Spain started doing breakdowns of Uruguayan football matches he never imagined the Hornet's nest of corruption, mismanagement, exploitation, and media manipulation and collusion he would stir up. Josema, our guest today, didn't just comment and criticize like many youtuber's would, he mobilized and organized! He empowered fans of Uruguayan clubs with democratic structures to call assemblies and hold their leaders to account, his hard work and transparency inspired workers caught in the system to become his eyes and ears behind enemy lines and expose wrongdoings by all parties involved, and he's given Uruguayan sports journalists who've been driven out of the industry and even suffered attempts on their LIFE a new voice on his channel. Please welcome, to talk to us, among other things, about a soccer agent turned media mogul and exploitative rent-seeker, Josema, from La Locura de Bielsa.
