Jules Boykoff time for a strongly worded op-ed? FIFA’s next WC is about to be in our own backyards.

The customs agent at Pearson just held up the whole line to ask me about extreme heat because his family is in FL🇺🇸 and he’s worried about his nephews playing football this summer. 🏈☀️Then he googled the book and preordered it in front of me! ☺️Great way to start the tour 📕🛫

SO PROUD!

People seem to struggle with sports stories that go against the grain. They want the classic sports story: an athlete with promise who goes through a big struggle then comes out victorious.

With climate change, we might not come out victorious. There will be big losses.

See you all on Friday 👀
