Everyone’s got their line. Where life’s endless ethical compromise is just too damn much and we won’t take it anymore.
Sport asks us to find that line all the time. We can’t help loving the games we love—but we know they’re not pure, we know they have their dark sides, and we know they bring pain.
The pain of our teams merely losing is one thing. It’s another when soccer’s stewards plop something like the European Super League on our plates or ask us to accept the circumstances of this year’s World Cup. One could (very easily) go on. A game becomes something else very quickly.
Dan Friedman, for one, has found his line. It’s Qatar2022. He won’t watch, and he’s made a vigorous case why none of us should either. We considered publishing a point/counterpoint, but really the only counterpoint is, “Well, you’re right, Dan. But my lines are elsewhere and I just really want to watch the World Cup.”
Our admiration for Mr. Friedman is absolute, our feelings about FIFA are probably pretty common, and, to tell you the truth, we’ll probably watch.

He was All-State in high school and All-American in college. He played for the Minnesota Strikers and the Chicago Sting. He scored over 200 professional indoor goals, was the MVP of an NPSL All-Star Game and as far as American pro soccer went in the ’80s and the ’90s, it looked like he had it all. But Tony Bono’s life wasn’t exactly as it appeared. Brian Burden tells the story of a player from another time who’s finally having the time of his life.

One Man’s Way Out - Howler Magazine
Tony Bono was an All-American at Drexel, a 1985 Minnesota Strikers draft pick and the MVP of the 1992 National Professional Soccer League All-Star Game. And he had a secret.
It’s near the end of a three-hour interview and Tony Bono quietly acknowledges a painful truth. “I came out 18 years ago, and I am still coming out today,” Bono says. “It can be exhausting because you never know how people are going to react.” Tony Bono was a star of the interregnum—thos...

The 35-yard shootout is a touchy subject. But for better and worse, it was exciting. Gimmicky though it may have been, it was superior as a skills contest than deciding a match on penalties—and it’s easy to find quotes from great players (Van Basten, Cruyff) saying they thought it was all right. On the other hand, it was a little ridiculous. Billy Merck, who was in a few in the ’90s, offers a thoughtful consideration on the shootout, what it means to American soccer, and what it meant to him. Check it out on https://whatahowler.com. And he got Clive Toye (and Tatu!, among many, many others) on the phone.

Gathering the Flock: Building a Club, a Culture and a Brand in Madison - Howler Magazine
'“For all the gimmicks and all the promotions, a lot of the club’s brand identity was steered by supporters,” says Andrew Schmidt, President of The Flock, Forward Madison’s Independent Supporters Association. In 2018, the city and community helped develop the club’s name and the crest, which naturally, features a pink flamingo, in profile. “Maybe that’s a metaphor for what we have going on here,” Schmidt says. “We’ve taken something really silly and made it into something cool.”'
Forward Madison is the latest entry into a vibrant American soccer community-- one that's miles away from MLS

Argentina, Los Hombres y Las Mujeres - Howler Magazine

Bold Lips and Bolder Actions: Advocacy and the Women’s World Cup - Howler Magazine
"There is not one singular fix, not one hero or lawsuit or goal celebration, that can fix all that is wrong with the footballing world, all that was ugly and evil on display during this World Cup. But we can find hope and inspiration moving forward in the way the athletes and supporters—not just those from the USWNT, but those from around the world—advocated for themselves and their communities in ways large and small."

How LGBTQ Fans Are Making Space In American Soccer - Howler Magazine
“You can be a coach, or someone who’s never played, or someone doesn’t know the offside rule,” says All Stripes club liaison Adam McCabe. “It was really important to have a place where we could be safe to be ourselves and enjoy the sport we love. There are other supporters that are very inclusive and very welcoming, but sometimes there’s this greater feeling when you’re in your own community, where you don’t have to worry about being judged.”
A look at some of the strides q***r fan groups have made in recent years. And some of the ongoing challenges.

The Ballad Of Irene González - Howler Magazine
"She was an almost mythical presence, this fearless and foul-mouthed goalkeeper, ranting and raving at her defenders and diving at the feet of forwards. Mystical, too. She placed a doll with the likeness of a footballer inside her goal to ward off the ball — an idea borrowed from Ricardo Zamora, perhaps Spain’s greatest ever goalkeeper — and one contemporary newspaper account claimed that 'there is no one who can score against her.'"

Two Thoughts On Twitch-Streaming The Generation Adidas Cup - Howler Magazine
"Twitch is creating new space in the market as well as seizing territory previously held by older social media companies, and it’s doing it largely by connecting with young people who are passionate about sports. That’s exactly where MLS needs to be if it wants to create new fans. It’s smart to take this particular product, a youth sports tournament, to a platform whose audience skews younger than Facebook, Twitter, and other older media."
MLS is smart to take youth soccer to Twitch, but we need to think long and hard about the implications of this new product.

Playing In The Shadow Of Grief - Howler Magazine
"This sport is big enough to contain literally every human emotion and also small enough to make you feel the full brunt of it, yourself, whether you’re ready for it or not. People you don’t know, would never have known, die by some fashion or another, and because we’re all lashed together in the same interdependent web of joy and heartbreak that is football, we feel their loss as if they were family. We can’t help it."
Football is a sport of great joy and exceptional sorry. And, increasingly, loss.

I've gotta say, I love this magazine and I've been a subscriber since day 1. The latest issue is chock full of really bad and really obvious typos. I know it may seem like a small thing, but for a publication that's really trying to grow and gain respect these glaring mistakes will get in the way. Please do something about the editing process.
Lovely cover photo...
Thank you Howler for keeping me company on my 16 hour flight. Page by page, it was delightful to read the eclectic writing surrounded by a terrific layout. Highlights of this issue are many. From the re-caps of 2018 WC, to the fascinating story of Zapatistas, to the personal journies of Gallery Enganmouit and Juli Beer (who I saw with the Sockers), to so much more. Thanks again
Yes!
