The summer of sports is in full swing, in Paris but also in many other cities around the world. To celebrate, we've put together a newsletter dedicated entirely to the intersection of language and sports. First at bat, we look at the most popular sports in every country (spoiler alert: soccer is going to make multiple appearances on this list).
In the second half, we start with the sports idioms that have become part of everyday conversation in English. Even when you're not talking about sports, you kind of are in a way. And approaching the finish line, we take a world tour of sports chants so you're ready to root, root, root for the home team in six languages. |
