SOCCER

I played football (soccer) for Cambridge University and have been writing about it since.

I wrote for Howler about boycotting the corrupt, oppressive 2022 FIFA World Cup: a sportswashing collaboration between an corrupt fraudulent bureaucracy an oppressive feudal petrostate.

In a review of "Football" by Mark Yavich for the LA Review of Books, I expressed my own feelings about the pickup game.

I tried to learn from The Wisdom of Solomon when global politics soured Leeds United fandom.

I traced the surprising roots of some football songs in a video I c0-produced and appeared in.


I won a prize for my piece about Abraham Klein, the greatest referee of the '70s and '80s.

Most of my 8by8Mag articles are available in print only. Here are a couple that made it online.
