"Red Card has an important message, and it delivers this message powerfully. But it also is its own form of resistance against sportswashing. As Boykoff puts it “When everyday people learn about how FIFA prioritizes profit over people, it makes an impression—and not a good one” (127). Part of the task of resisting sportswashing is to make sure that people know just how bad things have become. Red Card manifests this through its concision and readability, alongside the moral force of Boykoff’s writing."
