Was talking about the US as world cup host on a recent podcast. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

All the media interviews I’ve done in the last few weeks have raised just this issue. ICE agents form key part of security at men’s World Cup. We’ve had hostile hosts before of course, but new departure in ‘sport washing’ debates.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Tony Mangan, a sports history scholar from the physical education discipline who made a foundational contribution to sports history in his books. Famously described as ‘a combination of bishop and prize-fighter’ many a student used his work to inform their own.

New podcast Unstoppable with Lori Lewis out now talking about Marta and why she is the GOAT unstoppablepodcast.net

Another @jeanolafc limited edition design. With femorabilia we are critiquing the mono culture of football shirt wearing as a totem of fandom. So limited edition, female designed, female made and fun. Alessia Russo in neon pink with Lioness safety pins.

#WorldCup relative days worked to buy tickets. It’s unethical, to say the very least.

Inflated World Cup ticket prices indicate a disrespect for ‘ordinary’ fans. Corporations and FIFA sponsors can outbid individuals. Then empty seats, wherein hospitality is more distracting than the football. Those empty seats will inevitably affect the media spectacle, a major talking point in 2026.

The @jeanolafc Supersonic Bronze foil designs for Euros 2025 went down a storm as limited edition t shirts. We have ten totes in the same design £15 plus p&p this December. When they’re gone, they’re gone…

Very pleased for Lando. It’s been heartbreaking to see Hammy’s season fall apart. New rules next year, and more motor sport historical writing from me in 2026…Congratulations Lando!

For those of us writing about international women’s football club ownership, and financial loopholes a big deal here…..

So what would you choose? First half uppy and second half downy? #Woodhouse #Leicestershire

Lovely to hear from @jeffersonlenskyj.bsky.social at Feminist Scholars’ Forum today. Congratulations on the book!

Ideal post Euros/Afcon read. My new memoir, 30 years in women’s football and 25 plus in academia. Perfect for a summer of women’s sport

Never let it be said I am not on brand. Swimming the Rhine in Basel ahead of the final. In Sarina we Trusted

As seen on the BBC. 40% of football shirts end up in landfill. How can we change fan mono culture?

Rest day Geneva. #womens #Euros 2025

I’ve enjoyed dusting off the Olympic studies handouts for lectures on an MA with a colleague in Japan. Happy to take on similar casual lectures if there is demand elsewhere. It was nice to look through the material again…

#INT #BAR anyone?

If any of the players affected would like to forward me the email, I would be happy to receive. Doing part of a wider study on how trans participation in sport is increasingly using language of bans…https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/fa-tells-trans-players-referees-coaches-get-therapy-3670155

Happy Easter to those who celebrate from lovely #Leicestershire

Hammy! Hope it’s a great season…#F1

Am making new Femorabilia items for Euros 2025 in Switzerland. If you are a feminist maker wanting to collaborate on designs do get in touch. There will be plenty of In Sarina We Trust and recycled/ upcycled pieces. Wales and England fans, what do fashionistas want to wear to the footy?

Very happy with my first piece of AI history/ media on women’s football which has been a long time in the making. Out tomorrow for #IWD2025 based on independent research
