With ICE Out of Control, How Can the US Co-Host the 2026 World Cup?
The country has proven itself incapable of not abducting and imprisoning people entering the country—boycotting US matches avoids putting teams, their families, and fans in danger.

@nasssbsky.bsky.social Our decision to run a two site conference to avoid the U.S. border has made it into a biting comedy piece.
I saw an article titled "Late Night Monologue Takes On Carney Trump Meeting" from a Canadian news outlet and was annoyed there are no Canadian Late Night Monologues... so I made one.

Real leadership when required most from @nasssbsky.bsky.social. Other scholarly orgs should take note.
In a move that *should* be precedent-setting for other scholarly organizations, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) announces that this year’s conference will be held concurrently at sites in the US and Canada and online due to the dangerous US political climate.
