10. Bölüm: How Non-Turkish Football Fans Can Enjoy Turkish Football
Description
As the 63rd Süper Lig Turkish football season gets underway this week, huge crowds of fans are again taking over stadiums and streets to show their love for their team.
But this week's episode isn't for them. It's for those who aren't such devoted followers of the game.
We asked Patrick Keddie -- the author of 'The Passion: Football and the Story of Modern Turkey' -- to explain how non-fans can get into the storylines, even if they don't love the sport.
From war-time resistance and gun fights in the stands, to songs of poetry and teary-eyed coaches -- Turkish football is, unsurprisingly, full of drama. And even those in the highest offices of power often use football to score points on the political field.
