Monochrome City—the epitome of perfection. A place where everyone looks the same, thinks the same, and, most importantly, agrees on everything. Gone are the days of pesky debates or, heaven forbid, progress. In this utopia, we've finally ac

サッカー人気強し。このブログの代名詞であるきりたんぽを抜き去った。ビジネス中心主義批判や移民選手の活躍はサッカーファン以外にも示唆があるけど、戦術史はコアなファンでないと難しい内容。それも読まれてる。折角なので、「きりたんぽはフットボールである」という記事を書いた(￣ー￣)

The Real Beautiful Game: Soccer, Migration, and the Messy Legacy of Colonialism
