Note
When I was young Robert left a huge hollow in my heart. From that day I reminded myself to talk to people with respect. Now every time I saw shit on Twitter, I take a deep breath and think about Robert 😇
Completely understandable. I don’t think any of us could’ve prepared for what happened. Even though losing Robert is an incredibly difficult thing to process, treating people with respect and kindness seems to me the perfect way to honor his memory.
Football Twitter can be such a toxic place, sadly. Sometimes it feels like that’s where the most hateful football fans come home to roost, and it can draw you on in if you’re not careful. After all, who among us hasn’t been pissed at or frustrated with one of our own players at some point? I’m definitely guilty of that!! In those moments, it can be hard to take a step back and stop yourself from joining in. That’s why, even though it may seem small, it really is a great thing you’re doing. I have to hope that one day, we can create a more supportive fan culture, and people like you give me hope. I’ll try to do my part too 💜

The grenade
The grenade (grenade is likely derived from the French word spelled exactly the same, meaning pomegranate, as the bomb is reminiscent of the many-seeded fruit in size and shape. Its first use in English dates from the 1590s.) as we know it today is not a modern invention - on the contrary, it has its origins in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
First grenades appeared in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire not long after the reign of Leo III (717-741). Byzantine soldiers learnt that Greek fire (a mixture of sulphur and oil), a Byzantine invention from the previous century, could be thrown at the enemy not only with flamethrowers but also in stone and ceramic vessels.
Byzantine " Greek Fire" Grenade, c. 800-1000 AD
With the invention of gunpowder in Song China (960-1279), weapons known as ‘thunderbolts’ were created by soldiers packing gunpowder into ceramic or metal vessels with fuses. In a military book from the year 1044, the Wujing Zongyao (Collection of Military Classics), various gunpowder recipes are described in which, according to Joseph Needham, the prototype of the modern hand grenade can be found.
The grenades (pào) are made of cast iron, are the size of a bowl and have the shape of a ball. They contain half a pound of ‘divine fire’ (shén huǒ, gunpowder) inside. They are sent by an eruptor (mu pào) towards the enemy camp, and when they arrive there, a sound like a thunderclap is heard and flashes of light appear. If ten of these grenades are successfully fired at the enemy camp, the whole place goes up in flames.
Grenade-like devices were also known in ancient India. In a Persian historical account from the 12th century, the Mojmal al-Tawarikh, a terracotta elephant filled with explosives was hidden in a chariot with a fuse and exploded as the invading army approached.
These encrusted hand grenades were washed up from a 17th-century pirate shipwreck, Dollar Cove, in the coastal Gunwalloe district of Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula
The first cast-iron bombs and shells appeared in Europe in 1467, where they were initially used in the siege and defence of castles and fortresses. In the mid-17th century, infantrymen known as ‘grenadiers’ emerged in European armies, specialising in shock and close combat, usually using grenades and engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat. But grenades have also been in use at sea since the 17th century. They were used to inflict as much personal damage as possible below deck after boarding a ship by throwing the grenades underneath.
After the middle of the 19th century, grenades were used extensively in the Crimean War and the American Civil War. Before they changed in design and function to be used in the trenches, especially in the First World War and later. They are still in use today.

Acknowledgments
This book was written with the generous and unstinting support of the Nation Institute, which allowed me to work unfettered for many months on this project. I am deeply grateful for this support and encouragement, especially that of Hamilton Fish, Taya Grobow, Janine Jaquet and Jonathan Schell, as well as Peggy Suttle and Katerina vanden Heuvel at magazine. I also owe a huge debt to Princeton University, where I teach in the Program in American Studies. R. Sean Wilentz and Judith S. Ferszt, as well as C. K. “Charlie” Williams, Elaine Pagels, Sam and Liz Hynes, and many of my dedicated and brilliant students always lent encouragement and advice. I am blessed with supportive and thoughtful friends and colleagues.
Pamela Diamond, for the second time, oversaw the research and organization of a book of mine with her usual skill, patience, dedication and good humor. I cannot imagine having to go through this without her. Rebecca Beyer, a talented reporter and writer, worked extensively on the book, carrying out some interviews and attending events. She was a close and valued collaborator. Elyse Graham and Amy Paeth, two of my students at Princeton, did tremendous and important research, especially under heavy time pressure in the closing days of production. Timothy Nunan, another Princeton student, did a fine job documenting creationist attacks on Charles Darwin and evolution. I benefited greatly from his research. Lisa Winn, Lauren Brown, James Arnold, Maria Guerrero-Reyes, Linda Kane, Kate Peters, Jason Proske, Colin Maier, Moya Quinlan-Walshe and Kathryn Tippett constituted our small army of transcribers. I turned over hours of tape to them and relied on their care and dedication to produce the transcripts. I owe a tremendous debt to those few who have been among the first to investigate and explain dominionism. They include Katherine Yurica, who produces the available online; Frederick Clarkson, whose three-part series in PublicEye.org in March/June 1994 called “Christian Reconstructionism” was a groundbreaking piece of journalism and who continues to do important research into the movement; and Sarah Diamond, whose books, such as are indispensable.
I owe thanks for vital help and support from Bernard Rapoport and Paul Lewis, as well as Patrick Lannan, Ralph Nader, Jenny Ford, Joan Bokaer, Mariah Blake, Cristina Nehring, Ann and Walter Pincus, Lauren B. Davis, June Ballinger, Michael Goldstein, Anne Marie Macari, Robert J. Lifton, Richard Fenn, Fritz Stern, Robert O. Paxton, Charles B. Strozier, Irene Brown, Joe Sacco, Al Ross, the Reverend Mel White, the Reverend Davidson Loehr, the Reverend Ed Bacon, Bishop Krister Stendhal, the Reverend William Sloane Coffin, the Reverend Joe Hough, the Reverend Michael Granzen and the Reverend Terry Burke. The Reverend Coleman Brown, as he has done with all my books, read and critiqued each chapter. Coleman again let me rely on his profound insight and wisdom. As usual, he raised questions and offered critiques that often forced me to reconsider my position or go back to my research. Max Blumenthal, a friend and fine reporter, nursed me through much of this with sage help and advice. I would like to thank Marji Mendelsohn and Janice Weiss for guidance and research, as well as Tamar Gordon, whose advice and scholarship helped me head in the right direction. Tom Artin, as talented a jazz musician as he is a scholar and writer, went through every chapter, as did my wife, Kim Hedges, who always saves me from being too sententious and ponderous with the stroke of her red pen, her gentle smile and common sense. Barbara Moses, the gifted painter, again came to our aid with her amazing eye for detail and her iron command of grammar.
I often leaned for emotional support on my friend John “Rick” MacArthur, who keeps alive magazine, one of the great intellectual journals in America, as well as my friend the poet Gerald Stern, who appeared frequently as I was writing to drag me into the sunlight for lunch and impart needed encouragement.
My editors at Free Press, especially Dominick Anfuso and Wylie O’Sullivan, patiently edited, shaped and formed the text. I would also like to thank Michele Jacob. Lisa Bankoff of International Creative Management held my hand, for the fourth time, through this process of proposal to contract to delivery. She is a gift.

I firmly believe robert deserves part of the credit for manu's goalie love, the way he supports everyone. They didn't know each other for very long and manu was still so young but they were close and robert's widow said one of the things that made him ill was the fans and press forcing this war between robert and rene adler, who was number 2 in goal at the time. When all robert needed was peace and friendship. I believe many of us haven't forgotten that and it includes manu
I couldn’t agree more.
Trigger warning: suicide mention below the cut
I think Manu learned a great deal from Robert, especially when it comes to the importance of encouraging those around him. In all honesty, sometimes I forget they played together, because Manu was still so young at the time. It’s nice knowing that they were close though; I have no doubt Manu did his best to offer him the love and friendship he needed. But the press and the fans were just too loud.
I understand the press is a ratings business, and that all too often the best ratings come from coverage of real or imagined drama within a team, but it has to be really hard on the players. They’re just trying to play the game they love, but all the while, some very vocal journalists or news outlets do what they can to pit the fans or even their own teammates against them. Robert needed someone to lean on; the last thing he needed was for someone to drive people further away.
I don’t know if Manu has ever talked about Robert since his death, but even if he hasn’t, I truly believe he hasn’t forgotten him. In a way, his unconditional support of his fellow goalkeepers is a beautiful way to honor Robert’s memory. It’s the same love and friendship Robert always craved, passed onto the next generation in the hopes that what happened to him doesn’t happen again.

Vidal shock: "Enke si è suicidato dopo il mio gol all'Hannover"
Arturo Vidal e una frase shock. Commentando un video su Twitch dove veniva mostrato il suo primo gol con il Bayer Leverkusen, nel 2007, contro l’Hannover 96, il cui portiere era Robert Enke, scomparso in circostanze drammatiche nel 2009, gettandosi sotto un treno, il centrocampista dell’Atletico Paranaense, ex Juventus e Inter, ha affermato: “È stato il mio primo gol segnato in Europa… Quel…

the footy community as a whole has worked so hard to broaden the acceptance of speaking about and seeking treatment for mental health so it’s really disgusting to see a man who used to play for my team make fun of the fact that a goalkeeper lost his battle with depression after years of fighting for the sake of his family. to say that actually Robert Enke left this world by his own choosing because you scored a goal on him is so incredibly disgusting, one of the lowest things i’ve ever read/heard. that man lost his daughter and could not cope, he was abused by fans of his own team for not being good enough at what he did. imagine gleefully taking responsibility as the reason why somebody took their own lives. bitch, i wish you were still at Bayern so one of the players who knew Robert could absolutely rock your shit.
#tw suicide#i’m very upset#i loved Robert#and when FIFA wouldn’t let Germany honor him at the World Cup?#oh besties I’ve been itching for a fight for thirteen years

When sport becomes a problem – DW – 02/28/2023
There are days I’ll never forget. November 10 is one of those days, the day Robert Enke, goalkeeper of the German national team, committed suicide aged 32. It was my birthday and I was in the middle of celebrating when the news came through. The celebration came to an abrupt end after that. Robert Enke was dead. He suffered from depression. So did I. He was a professional athlete, I was a…
