A very subjective look into AWFC

The NED vs USA match was so damn intense that I can’t do a podcast AND also a blog post, but trust me I have a lot to say about it. I will talk about the match itself, the whole situation with Lindsey Horan and DVD and much more, all of which will be out in a few hours.

Today though I wanted to clarify something regarding the event I spoke at. Before I start, it’s important to note that this is all directed to very few people, as in I totally understand I have a very small number of readers and its not like there’s an expectation for me or “my brand” which isn’t a thing really. I have no power, no pull, no contacts, but I have opinions and I have instincts and I also have respect for my audience aka YOU, regardless of how many of you read what I write or listen to that I say.

For those that don’t know AFTV is a YouTube channel that, through the years, have grown exponentially and are an absolute force of nature. During the latter Wenger years they produced a lot of negative content and had a few regulars there that I felt were not cool, insulting and they were also inundated in bullying, one of their members committed suicide and another was arrested for domestic violence or something worse. This is not what AFTV are about obviously… they wanted to and have given fans a voice and it has been adapted all over the league and all over the world pretty much. This is not a defense not an insult to them, I’m just trying to express a point here. As you can imagine they divide opinion and mine has certainly been more than divided. I don’t watch their channel, I don’t subscribe to them and I also agree with a lot of what Robbie and Lee say there. Both btw were absolutely lovely folks and I had a great time chatting with them on and off the panel. They definitely love the club and care about the fans. That’s the genuine vibe I got.

Said event was filmed and I didn’t really know. The chat is on their YouTube channel and again, I had no idea it was going to go on there. I’m not mad nor did I expect them to ask me for permission but it would’ve been nice to at least be told it was a possibility. Not because I don’t what I said to be out on the internet, but because I respectfully don’t want to be part of that brand, or any brand for the time being until a lot of things fall into place for me in many years to come.

The growth on podcasts and such is a very interesting thing. More on this at some other point.

Stay tuned for that podcast later today.
