On 23 May 2019, in New York, I was honoured to host a panel discussion, "The Rise of Independent Football" as part of the #FCSPgoesUSA tour. The panelists included: Oke Göttlich, President FC St. Pauli; Sean Mann, Co-owner Detroit City FC; Tim Kelly, Chairman Chattanoga FC; Joe Barone, Vice President New York Cosmos; Shawn Roggenkamp, East River Pirates and Anthoney 'Prez' Stephens, Journalist and Active Cosmos fan.
The discussion focused on how football club's could seek a different and independent course in an increasingly commercialised and globalised football world. Topics also included fan activism, anti-fascism and moving towards a parity/equality in the men an women's professional game.
