Saudi Money Is Football’s Enemy

And not just Saudi money, with mega-rich folk - particularly from the Middle East - buying up Premiership clubs, they will want pay back. Now the wildly over-promoted garbage Saudi league is not only on TV in Australia for some reason (>cough< money) and spammed every other post online, but actually trying to get into the European Champions League (I guess Saudi clubs will be abiding by Europe's financial fair play rules then, eh guys? lol) and Inter Miami are trying the same stunt with Latin America. With Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar the new Kardashians for the worst fans in the game, the celebrity chasers who support no club, only the player. Make no bones about it, the end game here is the destruction of all real football fans hold dear and the creation of a super league where the mega money clubs of Saudi and America and Russia all play against Manchester United and Real Madrid every week, and even worse is in store for the World Cup. Vomit.

Anthony Albanese: Ten Ways You Can Win The Voice Referendum

I've been vocal about why I oppose the referendum on an Aboriginal voice to the Australian parliament in several posts - mainly how badly the campaign was being run and how dangerous it was.

 

Here then are ten ways that could improve the currently perilous chance of winning the vote.

Private Healthcare And Private Education Are A Moral Obscenity

The idea, that in a wealthy, advanced democracy, the child of a nurse deserves worse healthcare than the rich person's child that nurse is treating, because they earn more money, in a job that is probably half as valuable to society as a nurse is, should be called out for being the morally disgusting abomination it is. That any child deserves worse healthcare or education at all, because they're parents are teachers and nurses and not investment bankers, should be called out as one of the worst moral repugnancies we allow without question.

#FIFA: New Male Fans Are Killing Football, Women Are Saving It

With the FIFA Women's World Cup entering its final stages, lets acknowledge the impact new male and female fans are having on the game. We aren't talking about how toxicaly awful this new male football fan is, the one that breaks the holy sacrament of soccer - support a team, for better or worse, forever - and who chases a players like Ronaldo, Neymar or Messi from club to club. They are the worst thing to have ever happened to football since big money got involved. Countering that is the new female fan, who will play at grass-roots level and follow their local club with a 100 supporters their whole lives. Truly the purest football fans to have emerged, the antidote to these vapid celebrity chasers and the savior of the beautiful game.

Megan Rapinoe - Woman Know Your Place!

The global laughter at the USA Women's Football team's failure at the FIFA World Cup, rings a little hollow when they are reigning double world champions, and literally the most successful female team in the history of the sport. But the glee at star player Megan Rapinoe is something else entirely and shows how characteristics we lionize in men are still crucified in women.

FIFA STOP AMERICANISING FOOTBALL!!!

What it says on the tin. Stop infecting the beautiful game with garbage stat obsessed American sporting terminology

Australian Labor And Anthony Albanese - What The Hell Are You Doing?

Just when Australia is in dire need of a Labor Government, we get one and it half pretends to be the Liberal party and half focuses on terribly damaging side projects. We voted for Labor, give us Labor.

Ukraine War: Was It About Grain All Along?

Or more specifically, is the entirety of this conflict related to the coming impact of climate change? Where our future will be dominated by two super-powers, the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and the West, not for conflict between the two per se, but so the strongest survive better in the coming climate change/food production apocalypse, and everyone else has a very bleak future indeed. From the militarization of the West to Ukraine giving up sovereignty of one of the most arable countries on Earth, a look at how this may all play out - including a link below to how much this is already costing Ukraine in ownership of its own farmland and monetary policy.

The Fallacy Of Fair Pay In Women’s Sport

With the FIFA Women's World Cup underway, the issue of fair pay in women's sport has come up again - but it's a fallacy. This is entertainment money, it has no correlation with the genuine, real battle for fair or equal pay in other occupations and is a distraction or at the very least muddies the waters.
