Why aren't more latinos playing professional soccer in the US?

Chancleta Generation

Soccer is immensely popular in Latin America and really everywhere, it’s the most-watched sport in the world. And the US is trying to come to the sport's world stage. But there’s a serious lack of representation by Latinos in the national teams. To unpack all this our guest Harold Palacios, a former soccer player who's been part of FIFA and CONCACAF, and also a fellow Colombian. We'll take a deep dive into not just the systemic barriers but also the mental barriers we've been facing that keep our kids from finding success in "El juego bonito". Very excited about this episode!
