The Fifa Museum Is a Masterclass in Reputational Whitewashing | Novara Media Handing world cups to fascist dictatorships, brown-nosing Trump, endless corruption scandals – there’s an awful lot of history on display at Fifa’s Zurich museum and absolutely none of it that explain...

Juliet wrote this about FIFA’s tawdry history of allowing football to be used to whitewash tattered reputations

The only thing missing from that day’s play was Bob Willis calling for the death penalty to be brought back for the umpires at the end

Something that’s been missed about the blocking of the Hillsborough law is that it’s intrinsically linked to the genocide in Gaza.

Why? Because it would allow public officials who lie to be prosecuted.

I’d really appreciate it if people could give the below post a share.

A *huge* part of the government not passing the Hillsborough law is that it could lead to some very prominent figures being prosecuted for their lies over Gaza, Grenfell and many, many other issues.

It’s one of those where you go ‘Ok he’s a very good player, but if you are able to spend 71M on one player, why would you spend it on him?’ (I know a big part of it I’d probably OOP stuff but still).

New and vital episode, from which I recused myself on the basis that what a cis man thinks about this isn’t especially important and I don’t disagree with anything Juliet has to say on this anyway.

Please listen, share and subscribe.

Juliet, Natalie and Arthur discuss the media campaign against trans people that led to English and Scottish football’s anti-trans decisions making and the long-term efforts to overturn the Stockholm Consensus of 2004 that allowed for trans participation in sex-segregated sports.

When Jofra Archer bowled the super over in the World Cup final, the Prime Minister was Theresa May, and since then we’ve had four others.

Found the Red Riding Trilogy via Prime Video on some affiliated platform I forget the name of so if you’ve not seen it (and fancy seeing Andrew Garfield playing a hard-bitten journalist from Yorkshire) then you should check it out

Driving Rupert Lowe’s behaviour is a worldview that seems to depend on ideas of racial purity recalling those of the historic British and European far-right.

Read Tom Williams on Reform MP Rupert Lowe's history of reaction and demagoguery.

Reform MP Rupert Lowe has criticised the ‘politicisation and filth’ of Glastonbury just days after suggesting that Palestine Action activists should ‘expect to be shot’. Is this Musk-endorsed maverick the future of Reform — or a new hard-right Tory party?

As a #SaintsFC fan I’m naturally inclined to give Rupert Lowe a kicking, but he’s so aggressively reactionary that (thanks in no small part to Alex and some excellent editing!) presenting the facts is enough to demonstrate what he is.

Fair play to Sally Rooney. More people need to have the courage to say this, especially people with something to lose.

“_____ doing _____ things” is the single most annoying thing to come out of cricketing culture since the spread of starting replies to interviewer questions with ‘Look…’
