[And I'm not so naive that I don't recognize that education business-ized pretty much as soon as formal education became a thing]

When education became a business so learning had to be competitive because that's what business is...we gave up a lot.

Honestly, probably all of it.

To live in a world where ideas were to be wrestled with instead of commodified as checks on rubric tick sheet...

The best I can figure Trevor Packer and David Coleman were told they were brilliant little students all through K-12 and then flunked their first written assignment in college hard.

And they've been looking to bring the bar down to their level ever since.

Then Harry came in and we FRAAB'ed and it was awesome.

And once Danny Rose scored against Arsenal I knew it was for life.

It was the fall of '08 & I started working with a guy who was a United fan and tried to get all the guys in our dept to find a team to follow.

I wanted a team that wasn't Arse/Pool/Oil money and remembered watching Spurs a few times back when I was in college and thought To Dare is To Do was legit.

Seeing Dawn Staley continuing to make Kim Mulkey act like a petulant child will never not be appointment viewing.

Picture of former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp wearing a dark jacket standing in front of fans during a soccer match.

Probably telling his players to FRAAB.

Seeing fieldworkers produce their own histories, knowledge, narratives, and generally assert their power and voice over the world has been sugarcane plantation owners' greatest fear.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

When you're grading AP exams and kids follow the Heimler/Freeman fill-in-the-blank strategies and get a 7/7 for the most boring, but rubrically correct DBQ you've ever read...
