Actually, there are indeed some interesting questions involving sport and foreign affairs (if not necessarily Foreign Affairs)... there was a war between two South American countries a while back called the "soccer war," and the question of why different countries obsess about different sports is actually fascinating. A fine recent book on the topic, by Andrei Markovits (who wrote an excellent article on Joschka Fischer for FA last year), can be found here:
