My European Summer will probably be more limited in scope and time. I can't wait much longer with booking my transatlantic flight, which will set the state and end date and largely determine how far North and South I'll go. At the moment, it looks like…

How much you are protected does not necessarily reflect how much you are threatened - even though this argument is often used (weaponized) in political discussions. Rather, it reflects how much power and/or resources you have.…

Another dramatic decision for women soccer in the U.S., which is defined by short-term money-grabbing logic. Like NWSL, WWCs will be available to limited part of US public and outside of popular sport channels. #sad [contains quote post or other…

Because 2024 was Super Election Year, I decided to participate more in the public debate again. I gave media interviews (till June) and wrote far more op-Eds than in previous years. In the end, it was a productive but ultimately deeply disappointing year.…

Just submitted full draft of my first academic publication on soccer & politics. It is outline of my "soccer as civil society" approach, as well as basic analysis of "neoliberal threat" to soccer, focusing specifically on democratic power of fans. It…

The key task of the party that is not in government is not “to govern”. Simple! Moreover, strategically, bipartisanship is a bad choice for the party out of power, as the successes will be mainly seen as successes of the governing party.…

Ik ben er op gewezen dat het NRC uiterst-rechts niet normaliseert om advertenties te verkopen. Mijn excuses. Het NRC normaliseert uiterst-rechts puur om principiële redenen. Genoteerd! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

What a wonderful moment! ❤️ Today I virtually connected my first-ever PhD student @sldelange.bsky.social with my current PhD student @gabrielagreilinger.bsky.social — two wicked smart scholars who are doing great things. 👩‍🏫👩‍🏫

Very interesting reflection on “the causality trap” that should be read by junior and senior social science scholars alike. Be suspicious of strong claims of certainty and don’t forget theory! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Kudos to Renew Europe for at least starting to think more fundamentally about how to deal with far right (and far left) in European Parliament. Still, it is 20th century document, more on strategy (anti) than ideology (pro). Also, it somewhat naively…

Very interesting article on a topic that is often discussed in debates on local elections/politics but rarely investigated in academia: the link between political protest and voting for local parties. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I totally agree that comparative politics scholars should read political and social theory, but not so much to better understand democratic erosion but rather to help empower and inspire a democratic future. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Fascinating read on the first football/soccer team in the world, which shows, once again, the right connection between sport and politics. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/edinburgh-world-first-football-team-b2662545.html

This is the season of giving. Not everyone has the means to give, and there are many worthy causes, but please also consider giving to the people in Gaza. There are some suggestions of reliable organizations in the replies under this article. [contains…

Slechtste eredivisiewedstrijd tot nu toe van PSV. Grotendeels schuld van Bosz, die zijn beste speler uit positie zet om Veerman in te passen en aan De Jong vasthoudt, terwijl die volledig uit vorm is en Pepi in topvorm is.🤦‍♂️

Neoliberalism and authoritarianism are closely related. Nowhere is that clearer than at the world’s richest universities. Solidarity with all targeted faculty and students. ✊ [contains quote post or other embedded content]
