FIFA needs to have Euros in the UK to make the UAE World Cup look good from a diversity and inclusion standpoint in contrast.

Itâs UEFA, not FIFA. Not that the corruption changes much between them.
And at this rate I wonât be living there because of how shitty the current diversity and inclusion standpoint is, and will be even with a change of government. Qatar may end up looking progressive by comparison.

Seems like @the_borderer has talked about women in sports during the early 20th century, so thre might be some overlap with this video, which is more about the Victorian era?

The good news is that Carlisle have only let in two goals in the last 28 days.
The bad news is that Carlisle have only scored two goals in the last 28 days.
Another clean sheet would be welcome if we were winning games, but finishing in the top three is more important than breaking the old record for shut-outs. Carlisle are in fifth place, but only three points away from second. Finishing in first place is now impossible. Beating Stockport on Tuesday is now critical if Carlisle want automatic promotion.
Whatever happens now, Forest Green Rovers will be playing in League Two next season.

CTE is a rare brain condition caused by repetitive head trauma, and scientists have said there is a correlation between CTE and violence but that it is unclear if one causes the other.
Big correction. Itâs rarely diagnosed because itâs difficult to diagnose people who are still alive. Thereâs a ton of people who get concussed frequently to be that rare.

Which is to say: CTE is an alarmingly common condition which can only be properly diagnosed at autopsy.
(It can be surmised during life, but formal diagnosis requires putting microtomed slices of brain under a microscope.)

Well, fuck. Even getting all nine remaining points might not be enough for automatic promotion at this point. I guess the promotion play offs are still an option, Carlisle and Stockport in the final? I donât want to speculate on who will go up.
It looks like the problem is that the other teams have worked out that winning against Carlisle isnât likely, so they play for a draw and maybe getting a late winning goal. Last night was a tactical change to try and get more players up front, and we still get a draw.
The next two games will be tough, Barrow wonât want to lose to Carlisle even though they need a miracle to get into the playoffs now and Salford City are playing for a playoff place too. Sutton United have nothing left to play for but pride so hopefully we can get three points on the last day.
