On the subject of World Cup boycotts, this is a story which ought to be much better known: why African countries decided not to compete for a place at the 1966 tournament. One of Fifa's most shameful moments, which hardly ever gets a mention.

Absolute bliss.

Unsure about the Social Media ban for youngins? Read this and you'll be all for it.
While I'm not sure the ban has been implemented perfectly I do believe smart phones, front facing cameras and excessive SM use is damaging young minds.
As a parent, I'm stoked with the ban.

To give England cricket a bit of credit, I just heard a really touching story of how the team stopped over in India on the way to Australia to play in the #Ashes2025. The players had some down-time so they decided to visit an orphanage in one of the poorer districts of Mumbai.
