Busy week on the pod. Three episodes that excoriate the death cult that is the American Empire

The Epstein Empire won't let anyone who doesn't swear by their bloodlust live

The US/Israeli illegal attack on Iran should be understood to be a clear violation of the Olympic Truce (much as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was which led to its suspension by the IOC) and result in bans for 2028 and the stripping of those Games from LA. apnews.com/article/olym...

The Athleticide continues

That Davos speech was a stand-up act

Alex Aviña provides insight into the Mexican state's role in the joint bid to host the World Cup with US & Canada. From our latest episode

Solidarity with Muehlenberg College colleagues. MC’s Board postponed tenure decisions to “get more info” ab finances. YIKES. MC’s said a $10mil operating budget deficit “must be eliminated” ASAP thru faculty, staff cuts. Same $ my school said 🤔 muhlenbergweekly.com/news/dozens-...

An important piece about the provincial govt's assault on higher ed in New Brunswick

Our new episode with Alex Aviña is out!

Food question for next OLF sorted

In this edition of OLF, Chen Chen made sense of the contradictions of LeBron James' supposed commitment to social advocacy when read through his silence/positive comments on Israel

Fascism in action

Nathan's no-look shot

New OLF out where we were joined by friend of the pod, Chen, to discuss, among other things, the mounting calls for Ireland to boycott its Nations League tie vs Israel later this year

the AI evangelists are not okay

Game recognise game

'This historic case marks the first time sports leaders are being accused of these crimes and sends a warning to presidents of all other corporate entities in and beyond athletics.' An important piece that frames Infantino and Ceferin as unrepentant collaborators with Israel's genocide

Replugging our latest ep where @harshawalia.bsky.social analysed the sports mega-event as a bordering regime

Liberal govts don't just pave the way for fascism anymore, they ensure the fascists feel like they're in power without winning

This rebuilding "initiative" extends the athleticide in Palestine because it preserves and maintains the very conditions that enabled the killing of Palestinian footballers, and the destruction of Palestine's football infrastructure

It was such a pleasure to chat with @harshawalia.bsky.social on the pod. Our latest episode is out!

I'm raising money for food distributions in Gaza for Ramadan - you can support this effort here! Olive of Gaza is the most important thing I've ever been a part of - feel free to donate below or DM me with any Qs! chuffed.org/project/1690...

Football journalists, especially those critical of FIFA, should be all over this story. I encourage them to get in touch with the groups that filed this complaint.

On the history of the sports boycott in South Africa by @seanjacobs.bsky.social. From yesterday's episode

Fans of these franchises should actively disrupt their games. Vote with your feet!

ICE is the system of death-making

ICYMI 👇🏽

Delighted to host @seanjacobs.bsky.social on the pod for a chat about the politics of football in 2026!

BREAKING: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass calls for the resignation of LA28 Olympics Organizing Chair Casey Wasserman after disturbing emails that Wasserman wrote appeared in the Epstein files: "My opinion is that he should step down." Wow!

This is an *actual* sports journalist who shows us how it’s done. Thank you.

In case you missed the conversation, it's on YouTube now - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpse...

We discussed this issue on last week's @endofsportpod.bsky.social episode with @karachikhatmal.bsky.social as well. On cricket's appeal for the Hindutva fascists. Watch more - youtu.be/uEuO2Rg8_7k

The comments on our cricket episode crack me up. These imbeciles clearly have no idea what a class action lawsuit is for🤣

👀 Expect more fireworks 💥

If you want to learn more about the issues raised in this piece, Eleven Named People is hosting me for a chat on Instagram Live at 2pm Eastern. We'll take questions too. Join us!

We stay cricket-pilled here on EOS.

‘We control one of the handful of commodities keeping the entire cable television industry alive so our plan is to do everything possible to destroy its value.’

“Cricket is held hostage by the fascistic designs of the Hindu nationalist regime.” That part. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Rarely is a sport's fortunes determined by the domestic elections in a country. To extend Sharda Ugra’s felicitous description, the ICC is a Bharatiya Janata Party office running from Dubai. My latest for Eleven Named People open.substack.com/pub/elevenna...

@karachikhatmal.bsky.social on the right-wing obsession with the India-Pakistan rivalry. From our latest episode

Actual comment on the YouTube recording.

@karachikhatmal.bsky.social on the right-wing obsession with the India-Pakistan rivalry. From our latest episode

Football as social murder

Please check out this conversation between "an ignorant American," a "so called Indian host," and "a pakistani guest with biased, self righteous selective information." You won't regret learning about cricket from these "people with devious minds."

The IOC has banned the courageous & principled Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych for his “helmet of memory” commemorating Ukraine’s war dead. Meanwhile the IOC is selling a $42 "Heritage T-shirt" commemorating the 1936 Olympics, known as the Nazi Games. shop3.olympics.com/en/olympic-g...

What a win!

"The city does not ensure adequate safe shelter year long so it should have taken greater care to protect the Better Living Centre as an emergency shelter venue instead of office space for the FIFA circus" Few institutions hate the unhoused more than the City of Toronto www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Me learning that tacos are sandwiches after all

It was such a delight to have Ahmer on the show to talk about all things politics in the world of cricket. Check out our latest episode
