Chinese volunteers who fought in the International Brigades interned at Argèles-sur-Mer Concentration Camp in pre Vichy France early 1939 in front of their banner. Some 60 Chinese fought against Franco in the IBs, although there was never a "Chinese detachment" in IBs as banner claims

A story on the precarity of working as a footballer in the lower leagues “I wasn’t just building a life,” he says forcefully. “I’ve got a life. I was going to move my whole life for Crawley. I was willing to take that risk. It just crumbled right in front of me.

“I felt ashamed, I felt embarrassed. Although it wasn’t the case, I felt I’d failed.” Muhammadu Faal thought he had his dream move to League One Crawley. On signing, it became a nightmare - and showed just how callous and disposable football can be. www.nytimes.com/athletic/593...

Tim Howard: “Doing a dance that mimics Donald Trump is stupid. Why? Because, whether it’s the president of the US or my neighbor down the street, I would never back someone who I believe is racist. I wouldn’t glorify that... Any show of support for Trump is political.” en.as.com/soccer/tim-h...

A thoughtful decision to memorialize Dylan Powley through renaming the Cavalry FC supporter group player of the year award after him. Powley who passed too soon was a pioneer of Canadian football and a fervent proponent of better working conditions for footballers through @pfacan.ca #canpl

In June, news came out that Dylon Powley passed away in a tragic accident. From this point forth, and with the blessing of his family, the Foot Soldiers player of the year award will be known as the Dylon Powley Memorial Trophy. #heywewantsomepowley #canpl

Lots of really gross racist comments on this post. One of the many points that people are missing is that this is not just going to affect undocumented Chinese nationals. All Asian Americans are going to be affected, due to mistakes in enforcement and vigilante violence.
