Andrei Markovits Lecture Available Online

Markovits spoke on the Brigham Young University Campus Thursday afternoon. His presentation was titled, "Sports and Culture in Europe and America—A Mirror of Modern Life."

It is an absolutely fascinating lecture. You can watch it online here: http://kennedy.byu.edu/archive/#1366

He loves sports, loves researching them, and his passion is evident in his presentation.
