Referee Tales - new offshoot blog

Referee tales - please come and visit.
There is a new blog in this network, Referee Tales, and a re-activated blog, World Cup Human Rights. The former bills itself as "dispatches from the amateur leagues of a multi-ethnic city somewhere on Earth". It aims to update at least once or twice a week*. The latter is a campaign and commentary blog urging soccer/football fans to boycott the 2018 and 2022 World Cups as a protest against the severe human rights violations in the respective host nations, Russia and Qatar. Its author maintains that it is fuelled by righteous anger which will hopefully not, as in the past, be subsumed by defeat and despair at the condition of mankind in general. 

They would love for you to pop by. Come on, it's not like there's much else out there on the internet.

*Bear in mind that this is an Internet Promise, as tangible as a free-floating spirit. All broken promises will be paid for in bitcoins.
