This is a work in progress. The goal is to feature writing about sport that is approachable but has some theoretical weight. The idea is to get something new out there. No match reports. No transfer speculations.

Please contact us if you are looking at sport using a philosophical or critical theoretical approach. If you are wondering what the heck that is, feel free to read a few entries and then contact us if you like.

If you are worried that a comment of yours might be naive, lets hear it. If you have thought of some punishing insult, then go away.

Lotte Specht founded Germany’s first women’s soccer team, 1. DDFC Frankfurt, in 1930. It lasted less than a year due to media and personal shaming of the forty women who played. Specht was later a comedian and actor.
