Football Daily | What do
St Pauli and this timely email have in common?**
In the world of football, trends often emerge from unexpected places. Following the recent announcement that we would cease posting content on the controversial social media platform known as TwiXer, one of Europe’s most progressive football clubs, St Pauli, has decided to take a similar stance. Founded in 1899 and located near Hamburg’s Reeperbahn, St Pauli is renowned for its iconic skull and crossbones logo and its left-wing ethos. The club has a storied history, being the first in the Bundesliga to sign a black player and the first to officially ban right-wing nationalist activities at its matches. They are also known for their unique merchandise, including a rather pricey €37 snow shovel available in their official shop.
On a different note, it seems the phrase "door marked
Do One" has overstayed its welcome. While it may have been amusing at first, its repeated use has rendered it somewhat tiresome, as pointed out by
Ric Arthur and others.
In a twist of irony, if
Alanis Morissette were to update her famous song, a fitting line might be: "It’s like accusing the
Premier League of undervaluing the football pyramid." While it may not have the same rhythm, it certainly captures the irony of the man who played a key role in shaping the Premier League now critiquing its approach to the broader football community.
