Her er mine links fra den 8. oktober:
- hundedates.dk – WTF? WWF?
- Fact Sheets: Centre for the Sociology of Sport – En oversigt over korte tekster om en lang række emner indenfor sportssociologi.
- Robin Ujfalusi: magic, politics and football in Africa – “Politicians, try to use football, or successes of the African national teams for their own purposes. I wanted to show the not-so-popular, less mainstream topic of life in the slums, and I just thought that football was quite a neat tool for doing this.”
- Greek politicians exempted football from new law after FIFA pressure – FIFA was unhappy with proposals for a new law which would open the Hellenic Football Federation to public scrutiny. In the end, football was exempted from the law leaving Orfanos to ask whether FIFA is above national lawmakers.
- Lars-Christer Olsson on inequality in football – “We at Uefa hope it ushers in a new era of close cooperation between politicians and football’s governing bodies. Like us, the politicians believe there are dangerous inequalities in football. We are all determined to do something about it.”
- The Social Affairs Unit: It is the inescapable duty of every decent citizen to express no interest in or enthusiasm for football and the World Cup – “Theodore Dalrymple explains why it is the inescapable duty of every decent citizen to express no interest in or enthusiasm for football and the World Cup.”
- Kevin Mitchell on politics and football – “If the EU can legally curb the runaway spending of major clubs by introducing a legally sound licensing system, if they can engineer something like a fair distribution of the enormous wealth in football, the game will be much the better for it.”
- British Council: Kevin Mitchell – Kevin Mitchell om den britiske sportspresse
- Bar-On: Ambiguities of Football – The essential argument of the paper is that football in Latin America has tended to reinforce nationalistic, authoritarian, class-based, and gender-specific notions of identity and culture.

Hvad sker der med al den fo’bol? Kan vi forvente os et længere essay i nærmeste fremtid? Eller har Advice Digital udvidet deres forretningsområde?

Et meget længere essay kan sagtens forventes. Dog nok ikke her på kanalen og ikke indenfor en overskuelig fremtid…
Men, hehe, ikke i Advice Digital-regi. Men måske jeg skulle tage en snak med bossen om en udvidelse af forretningsområdet.
