It's not me: it's the change in your anarchist...
I haven’t played Anarchist Soccer much for a couple of years. It’s not my more-than-full-time job that motivated me to stop playing. It was the change in values. There was a mantra that the score of the game didn’t count. And that seemed to be true for the first few years that I played. (I started in earnest in 2005.) However, I found that people were...

Hey I moved and don’t need these emails anymore.
Thanks

Tom wants to get in their space....
I haven’t mentioned the website because I don’t think most of the new folks know it exists… for good reason. And I don’t think that reason has anything to do with the effort Simon put into it, which has been considerable(thank you!). But, no one uses it because the group of people who were interested in viewing the a-soccer game through that lense aren’t on the...
"Dude-Brah" chimes in
Only a few people are utilizing the list serve. I’m lazy so I don’t mind the current method. Although I am indifferent on the new list I would rather not lose anyone that didn’t switch over. Soccer has changed and so has the community. We need more dialog from others but it’s clear who is channeling their voice. I hope to see more posts about potlucks and...
I smell a snitch....
From another member, Jake:
“this should also be sent to old list. I guess I will forward it so that everyone can see it. any objections?”
Tom goes rogue, bribes Anarchists with glow sticks...
Sent to the new list only:
“Footie Tonight…7pm…Shipe Park…will be fantastcikal….
Here’s why: weather tonight: 58 degrees, coudy, No Rain. weather sunday:54 degrees , no sun, rain. Come out tonight and have a blast like we did on Tuesday. Eric, Rene, Mary, Joe, Alfonso, Jon, Pedro, Myself and two very polite, cool friends from the neighborhood I...
Harry wants to know who "we" are and what "they"...
Hi folks. Long time no see. Only 6 months of school left and xmas break just around the corner, so I may be back on a soccer field near you soon. As I haven’t played in a while, I’m not sure who the “we” is that Tom refers to, but if there are concerns about the inclusiveness of this soccer email list being expressed offline, can these discussions also...
Tom is not done speaking to you.
The new list is a reflection of a need for the direct participation of the current group of a-soccer players. It will simplify the communication to the group of folks who are playing regularly and will create a more welcoming space for new folks who haven’t been around this scene for years,(like us old timers) to step in and shape the space the way they use it.
I am not interested in...
Tom is back on top
The joy of lists. We’ve had a regular game of a-soccer for about 9 years. Many different folks have come through the space and left their ideas and energies for us to build on. This a-soccer community went to Mexico to play with the Zapatistas, by invitation. This community has sent groups and individuals to the Anti-racist World Cup in Italy and organized it’s own tournaments...
Setting the stage pt. 2
Soon after, the fight for anarchy supremacy was joined:
“Hi, Harry here. Before we switch to google and lose a bunch of folks in the shuffle (esp. since tom’s email was not clearly titled), I want to check in and see if there are any problems with the current listserve? I haven’t heard any chatter on this list, but would be interested to hear any concerns about...
Setting the stage pt. 1
I’m pretty sure I started it all with an innocent email asking the listserv what the winter schedule was these days. Then came this response from a guy we’ll call Tom:
“Hey kids, we have a new list, it’s a google group. If you want on it send me your email at ****@gmail.com. The Winter soccer schedule is currently SUNDAYS at 2PM to meet and greet, trade ...
