De Zwerver

Kinderdijkse Voetbalvereniging "De Zwerver" (official name)[1] is an association football club from Kinderdijk, Netherlands. It was founded on 12 June 1933 and plays in a red-black kit at Sportpark De Schans. Since 1919, its first squad plays in the Saturday Tweede Klasse West II (2019/20). The tiny village team[2][3] was initially known for the relative strength of its men's squad and, more recently, for the success of its women's squad.

History

Since De Zwerver's foundation, the team has played for five periods in the Eerste Klasse. The last time ended in 2014.[4] The women's squad starred that very season as it played in the national KNVB cup. In the final table of 2019–20 the women's first squad led the next two teams, VV Groot-Ammers and VV Sliedrecht, by 4 points, while having played one game less. Nevertheless, it wasn't entitled to a Vierde Klasse championship or to promotion due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands.

But I worry about lacking privacy for reasons other than "maybe the government will use partial data or something and accidentally think I'm doing crimes".
gollark: Also, you can probably just treat privacy as a "terminal goal" like all the other weird drives us foolish humans have, but I think there are good reasons for it based on other stuff.
gollark: Are you missing some negatives or something? I'm failing to parse that.
gollark: I don't understand what you're saying.
