Sometimes one writes and is last to find out it's already been published.

Happy to share 'The Geopolitical Economy of Football' edited by Chadwick, Widdop and Goldman which includes my chapter 'Colombia's Failure to Host the 1986 FIFA World Cup.

Once upon a time, an economist who got a prize in Sweden told us that if college athletes were paid like employees that competitive balance would be harmed.

Apparently the prize didn't grant someone knowledge of basic sports economics!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

For the last 4 years and 8 months I've been running an online seminar series: ROSES = Reading Online Sport Economic Seminars. It's brought me a huge amount of joy - new connections, fascinating people, great opportunities.

I've been posting about it on Twitter up to now. Time now to start here...
