Important! Please think about signing the petition, following the site, and sharing and supporting this first initiative from my comrades at the Degrowth Football Collective (DFC). We need less, better football, now, for an inhabitable Earth. bsky.app/profile/extr...

Really excited for the launch of this. Important! Give my comrades at the DFC a follow to stay in the loop for the launch this week.

Correct. It’s insanity. Degrowth football now!

Disgraceful but not surprising. But there is a wonderful ethical opportunity here for Pochettino to separate his honest and likeable team from his country’s swinish President, and to demonstrate that sport has values even if its leadership don’t. #benchbalogun

In this World Cup ad, football star Luka Modrić is being coached to bet on whether 2026 will be the hottest year ever. Meanwhile, games are being played in extreme heat, putting players and fans at risk. Is there any more perfect symbol of where we are right now? 🤯😵‍💫😱 and a 🧵 on why this matters

I will beat this drum forever, but if you care about the climate impact of football, then the only path to decarbonization is degrowth. Everything else is pseudo activity. This is more ecocidal madness from FIFA.

FIFA will say they can’t affect the weather, but they already do. This tournament will produce more climate changing emissions than most of the world’s countries do annually. This is why they aren’t estimating their emissions for the first time in decades. We’re watching an environmental disaster.

Important work by the always excellent @julesboykoff.bsky.social (whose recent book on football is wonderful). There are many problems with this World Cup, but its environmental impact is by far the most urgent and damaging. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Trump, his goon squad, and (of course!) the Israeli’s started a war today from his fucking golf course, and killed 80 elementary schoolgirls by mistake. My Prime Minister high fived those sociopaths in his official response, when what he should have said was this. Disgusted to be a Canadian today.

My latest for @playthegame-org.bsky.social, where I attempt a true cost carbon accounting of the Canada-Mexico-USA World Cup, and conclude that it will be the deadliest sporting event in history, producing emissions that will kill more than 70,000 people. I call this madness "Infantinocide."

As we head into this FIFA Club World Cup weekend in the USA, meteorologists are warning of dangerous heat and humidity up and down the east coast. Temperatures will rise through Sunday and could last all week, with a heat index of 43ºC by Monday.

More excellent, depressing reporting from @josimarfootball.bsky.social. Really important to support this kind of journalism, so subscribe to Josimar if you are able - they’re on the ropes and need the support right now, and it would be a tragedy if we lost this resource. There is no one like them.

Excellent thread. This is resulting in many 1000s of fewer course offerings at the moment when we need them the most. Instead of investing more in education during a crisis for which it’s a ready solution, the BCNDP are allowing the kind of cuts the Liberals only dreamt of. Disgusted as an NDPer.
