It seems like Financial Fair Play is similar to tax evasion in that the more money you have > the bigger the scale of the offence > the more likely you are to get away with it!

I find this whole situation with @GaryLineker insane but I guess it does show 2 things: 1. Cancel Culture isn’t just a ‘leftie’ thing and 2. Even the most ardent ‘freedom of speech’ advocates only really pipe up if they agree what’s being said

Future @AphetorGames challenge!

These guys call this roofball and I would much rather watch it than the NBA

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

I was wondering how things were going for WAGMI United at Crawley Town. I'm not sure it's doing much to strengthen the case for DAOs as an ownership model in Performance Sport: https://t.co/a70sWdm74t

Credit to @AphetorCarsten for this witty insult!

Surely this is one of the worst things any father can imagine. Call me weak, call me a coward, call me anything you want, but I’m not sure I could do it

[Peter Yang @petergyang]

Video of Ukrainian father saying goodbye to his kids while he stays behind to fight.

Fuck war.

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

Loved looking through #SIAwards2022 shortlist. Especially enjoying the strong ex-Synergy flavour in the Young Agency category with @LisaParfitt @tomglad @araincock taking on @MatchFitDonald @MatchFitWill & the recognition for @TomWhiteside1 at Toyota. Congrats all!

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

Ironic that it's called "Modern Pentathlon". I mean, it's amazing and everything (not taking anything away from the sport or the athletes), but I genuinely can't think of 5 less modern events. "Classic Pentathlon" perhaps

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

I mean....I get it, but I just don't get it: https://t.co/P6dYpKDeFk

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

So...here we go...@AphetorGames first ever Live Broadcast. The Final Dance Off live on our Instagram Channel at 5.45....bring it on and follow here: https://t.co/qwhO5IYyUQ

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

As a German, who has lived in England for 28 years, with an English wife and kids, this is going to be interesting. I just hope that no one in my house calls me a “f*cking German c*nt” like one of my Uni mates called me at Euro96!

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

Four weeks to go...

Can someone please tell me why I’m still seeing ads that contain the phrase “now, more than ever…”. Any copywriter who writes that, creative director who signs it off and brand manager who goes with it should be sacked on the spot

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

Honestly...this Meyba x Aphetor kit is sick: https://t.co/aXH4Npv84S

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

Me too...

[MrBeast @MrBeast]

Almost a billion views on our Honey sponsored videos, I wonder how much it would have cost for that many views on tv 0.o

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

@AndyMarstonSP Yeah - I agree with this 100%. Another example of the "traditional" way of doing things, where the perceived imperative to "control" the content gets in the way of what really matters: creating a platform for great content to truly engage and reach the audience

[Carsten Thode @Carsten_Thode]

Great article and great to see @AphetorGames used as a case study for the disruption engulfing sport: https://t.co/VaRNtQAOyV
