Revolutionary Horseracing

Since anarchist and socialist opinion is somehow taken up with a conceit about football

Please allow me to impose MY irrelevant sporting interest on everyone else. Why not ?
Fact is, the England V Argentina scores have about as much relevance on the radical movement as the winner at the 2:30 hurdles. I am genuinely shocked to see that supposedly intelligent anarchists and socialists can be duped so easily. If instead of working yourselves to a collective hysteria over some guy with a broken toe, you really want to relax (and perhaps recoup the entry fee) go to your local racecourse and spend a lazy afternoon watching the gee-gees. Put a flutter on the right horse and well, you'll be everyones friend (if like me you put on a 'pick 3' and scoop £2000). Did I donate it to the Revolution ? Not really ! I banked the lot, in the cause of my good self.
If you genuinely like football For the fun of it, then i suppose we all have our little kinky side, but at least im not fooling myself about being in solidarity with my fellow worker or such nonsense. I can go on strike if i want to do that !
