Globalized Football
This morning I listened to an excellent BBC radio piece on African footballers who try to get to Europe to play. The whole phenomena sounds chillingly like a juncture between colonization methods of a hundred years ago and modern issues of a globalizing economy. Also throw in this mix the notion that a lot of what goes on is actually human trafficking and it's really enough to utterly disgust you. I want my players to hear the segment, so I'm going to try and download the podcast.

I heard this piece as well and found it very interesting.
I'm finally catching up on what you have been doing in the past couple of months. I'm very impressed and proud.
Keep up the good work.
