This episode was recorded in February, prior to the recent news of Senegal being stripped of hosting AFCON.In this solo episode of Afrikan Lion, we explore the deeper realities behind African football, global power, and the illusion of inclusion.From AFCON to FIFA, from the pitch to politics, this is not just about football! It’s about control, narrative, and who really writes the rules.Africa continues to produce world-class talent, but remains excluded from true authority.At what point do we stop asking to be included, and start asking who owns the game?

Ted Vincent discusses Hubert H. Harrison, a socialist and Garveyite, who participated in the Harlem Renaissance, as well as Samuel Alfred Haynes, a Garveyite columnist with a noteworthy social consciousness.
