Wednesday, November 14, 8 p.m. Austin Anarchist Soccer presents: The 2007 Anti-Racist World Cup Slideshow, MonkeyWrench Books, 110 E. North Loop.
The Mondiali Antirazzisti (Anti-Racist World Cup) – http://www.mondialiantirazzisti.org – is an annual tournament in Italy that celebrates football — as it’s known in the rest of the world — in its purest form: non-commercial, anti-competitive, bringing people together and not causing division through racism, nationalism and sexism. It’s a really fun time as well.
In 2006 Austin Anarchist Soccer was the first team ever from North America to play in the Mondiali. This Year AAS fielded two teams at the tournament. Both times we took home the Coppa Chilometra (Kilometer Cup) for being the team that traveled the furthest distance to attend. The first year it was awarded to Texas Anti-Borders Patrol, and last year it was given to ATX United.
