Hey John, I should’ve thought something was amiss when I haven’t read your articles in the Athletic in a long while. Your articles are some of my most favorite things to read on the app, ever. Stoked to see what you’ve got installed!
I must confess I feel a little like the old guy from Shawshank Redemption, longing to get out of the law firm prison and join you in big, beautiful football world, but knowing in my heart I wouldn’t make it. Sounds I will have to settle for living vicariously through futi and the knowledge someone else made it out and thrived.
So, Andy Dufresne, I eagerly await the small ray of sunshine you can undoubtedly bring to those of us still living on the inside. Perhaps futi can use Rita Hayworth as a logo somewhere.
Congrats and really excited to keep following your work! If you don't mind, it is telling me the discord link is expired and I would love to join. Any new discord link would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to it!!
I'm a subscriber on TheAthletic and I've always enjoyed your pieces. Discovered your work in the space space space newsletter, and wow it shifted how I think.
Was so excited when I read your first post on TheAthletic introducing yourself, and man, I enjoyed every one of your pieces. I think the two I liked the most were the one on Gavi and the spanish obsession with space, and another one called 'Can someone credit the pass receiver?', I think.
In the last couple months I've often checked your author profile for any new update, and often end up re-reading old pieces, and they're still really good.
I think you wrote this for me, because yesterday I checked again, checked this Substack, then the space space space newsletter, and then did a google search of your work and found out that you no longer wrote on TheAthletic.
So imagine my surprise when I opened this app and saw this post. Coincidence, maybe, but you really must've written this for me, man😃.
Really excited for what's coming. And hey, good luck to you both.
Hello John! I was wondering where did you disappear since I really enjoyed reading your articles on the Athletic. They helped me develop my own thinking and writing since I'm an aspiring football writer/analyst. I will be following your new project! Cheers from Croatia.

Good luck John! Sounds like a very interesting project. 🚨

Love your work, John. Keep it up!
Hallelujah! He is risen. Congrats, John. I was getting worried that you had been whisked off to some El Salvadoran gulag.
All the best, John. I will certainly be tuned in. Fun fact: in one of the languages (Nyanja) in my country, Futi means ‘again.’
I was actually just talking to a Zimbabwean friend about this the other day because I think it means the same thing in Shona. Small world!
Hahaha yes it does mean that in Shona and Ndebele, two of the local languages in Zimbabwe
Congrats John! Such a cool project. Wishing you lots of success.
Sounds interesting. Good luck!
Will Futi also cover NWSL?
