Football series

Simon Tanner

The biggest sport in the world – football – is growing and growing, and the polarization between big and small seems to be getting greater and greater. In an eight-part series, the NZZ asks the question: “Football – when is enough, enough?” The writing is illustrated with pictures intended to illustrate some of the absurdities of this sport, between expansion and insanity. These are very atypical football photos for a daily newspaper: still lifes substituting for snapshots.
