Príncipes y esclavos

Sport contains many more stories than those of the field of play, the ball or the basket. Because sport is not, has never been, simply "minute and result." Lever of social changes, space for political demands, inclusive (or exclusive) mirror, propaganda apparatus, cultural tool, the greatest generator of myths that we have in modern societies (and also in past ones). Athletes are our heroes, they are Achilles and Patroclus in the 21st century. They are pictures where we can contemplate a society, a time. Princes and Slaves seeks to focus on what lies beyond the competitions, the stickers and the honors. The women who broke barriers, the racial struggle conveyed in basketball or athletics, the identification between colors and ideology, a history that goes from the austere Spartans to current capitalist exuberance. Also, yes, the bastards, the cheaters and the humor. From Olimpia to the E-Games, from El Cid to Michael Jordan. Only with the obvious the sport would be beautiful. We will go further.
