FANTASTICO, MAGNIFICO, POLITICO: DO WE NEED POLITICS IN FOOTBALL?

This week the pod discuss the undeniable link between politics, football and an ever growing disenfranchised fanbase being seen as users rather than fans.

This week the pod discuss the undeniable link between politics, football and an ever growing disenfranchised fanbase being seen as users rather than fans. Should Everton as a club use the city's strong political identity to provide a springboard to their community?

The potential disconnect from fan to club, and when does a club stop representing you as a fan? The responsibility of clubs within their communities. Is it dark times and can the city take inspiration from the 80's and become a phoenix of hope for its people?

"Potere al popolo!"

THIS IS MINT

As three friends and lifelong Evertonians, we grew up at the match, but as we grew older began to realise that football doesn't begin or end after the final whistle...

We recognise that as supporters we have an active role to play in shaping the identity of our club and the future of football.

MINT is our approach at reconciling what it means to be a socially conscious and globally aware Evertonian in the 21st Century - someone with a deep passion for Everton as well as a commitment to social justice, equality and sustainability.

We aim to bring together like-minded Evertonians to expand the discourse and break the supporter stereotype - interrogating how football intersects with every aspect of our modern lives - how being an Evertonian has shaped our own lives, and how we shape Everton in return.

This is our Everton - Evertonia for Everyone.
