This was going to be a post about how I’m quitting Newcastle United.
Our blog and podcast stagnated along with the club. Under Mike Ashley, there was nothing to write or say about NUFC that hadn’t been written again and again by ourselves and others. I had a notion that one day perhaps we’d start up again, if ownership changed and any of us were still alive.
But Saudi Arabia? Owned – don’t kid yourself – by the country itself? A place where I, as a gay man, would be tortured or killed for who I am?
