Arsenal fans, probably because they are unfamiliar with managerial change, have yet to fully turn on the manager, and instead have made Xhaka—a damn good player whom Emery does no favors with the team’s playing style and line-up decisions—the focus of their ire. The players, however, are less blind and reportedly are…
The true heroes in this story!
These fan clubs are overwhelmingly anti-fascist, but your statement isn’t wrong otherwise. There are strong movements both fascist and anti-fascist in European soccer. Take a look at St. Pauli for a good example of the latter.
We should single out the Timbers for praise here, they selflessly protested the ban by resolving to play like hot garbage at home.
When even Gronk is smart enough to retire, it’s hard to hold a grudge against Andrew Luck
Don’t you have more important things to do? Like throwing bananas at black soccer players?
Rolled my eyes so hard I saw my own brain.
I honest to God have no idea who you’re arguing with right now.

THANK YOU! Been hoping y’all would cover this story.

I don’t get the hate. He’s been a quiet and effective advocate for change. He was anonymously bailing out people in Ferguson and Baltimore, and has always advocated for Black ownership and causes. He isn’t a social Republican. He is for self help and improvement and that shows in everything he and Bey do.
This this this! Thank you!
Real Madrid is worth $4.2 billion and had $893 million in revenue last year. Manchester United is worth $3.8 billion and had $795 million in revenue last year. These are two of the three most exorbitantly wealthy cash-printing economic juggernauts in the history of any sport ever. Don’t blame economics for their…
Really good article. I enjoy women’s soccer, I feel like the ball control and organizational style (instead of the long outlets, and more spread feel of the men’s game)
