Sportswashing
It was known as “bread and circuses” during the Roman Coliseum era when government officials used entertainment to divert the public’s attention from pressing issues. Today, Saudi Arabia is charged with employing the similar method under the moniker “sportswashing.” Is the Kingdom, as they claim, diversifying its economy or is political persecution and violations of human rights being covered up? Jon Wertheim, a reporter, visited Saudi Arabia to investigate. Producer Michael Gavshon is in charge.
