@jameshawes2 plausible, but not necessarily - suppose the huge entity lacked some essential commodities (e.g. rare earths). But war is about death and destruction - we will all be losers
@Ant1Duval @Verfassungsblog Very good article- the point about the rights of players is key- this is not really about the top stars but the 100,000 or so professionals who earn little and have little choice but to do as they’re told. The rest of us cherish freedom of movement, now they can too.
@JordanAckerMI @silkiestmaria @hdichter It's not clear. He was born in the city, but his parents moved to Chicago soon after. He had a long relationship with Fred Matthaei Sr which had its ups and downs - underneath it all I think he thought Detroit was just too industrial and not sophisticated enough
@JordanAckerMI @silkiestmaria @hdichter There has been a lot written about this. In a nutshell, in 1945 everyone remembered that they were against Hitler, but when he was in power this was not so apparent. Only the Republican government of Spain and a few individual athletes boycotted.
@sross52055 This the 2023 Forbes data - with only 17 soccer clubs listed I created an extrapolation for 18-32 . The ratio is lower for the top soccer clubs, but also falls much faster - the 30th biggest soccer club is worth far less per $ of revenue that the 30th major league franchise.
@lovefutebol You're right, but of the five polls cited in that paper, the largest lead was in the poll that was before the game, and the one poll where the tories led was mostly conducted after the game.
#GeneralElection Why July 4? It's the Euros! Day before QF and England will likely be in a good mood - good for incumbents. Think 1970- election on 18 June, Labour leads in all polls, then England lose 3-2 in WC QF on 14 June - Tories win election.
@FrancisAwartefe@AlexPhillips8@ChrisLepetit@Ant1Duval Fwiw, I do not believe there is any credible empirical evidence that the transfer system is an effective redistribution mechanism. See the paper I wrote for fifpro in 2015
I cannot believe it's out, after months of work, but here's our very first Heroes and Humans of Football podcast! Me with @MehreenKhn. It's about Kylian Mbappé: made in Paris, in an extraordinary family, about to be exported to Madrid. Please listen! https://t.co/pHUNpKVs9C

@Val_Mueller_ASU one thing I found was that it was important to have a briefing session about expectations before meeting foreign students - so many little things are different, there is danger of confusion. And also, sadly, quite a bit of prejudice.
@Val_Mueller_ASU I co-taught with professors in Germany and Japan using skype ( long time ago!). My big takeaways:
1. timezones are problem
2. different semester schemes are a problem
3. however international you may be, the students on both sides can be very parochial
That said, I loved it!
Good to see this is now on the agenda: https://t.co/MkHywiDmLP
@WinfreeEcon and I wrote a paper @WinfreeEcon and I wrote a paper in 2018 analyzing the impact of college football of promotion and relegation: https://t.co/JzYfY1JbQb
