Political Rivalries Play Out on Lebanon's Basketball Courts

Tune in to VICE World of Sports tonight on VICELAND for a look at the best basketball teams in Lebanon, a country defined by its religious and political rivalries. The two biggest teams in the league are backed by opposing political parties—making their matches in Beirut not just a question of points on the board, but a hot-blooded contest of beliefs.
