@aldredo31495022@2xGreatss@maqwelll Maxwell is a minority in a US administration that craps on minorities. He has every right to be angry
I also agree taking his frustrations out on the USMNT is incorrect, but Maxwell is self-aware and always improving. He proves that in this tweet
Soccer is inherently political
Ima be real, I lost a lot of love for the usmnt over the last year and I have said in the past I was gonna hate watch them
And then I saw a video of the iran supporters hate watching their team because they don’t support the government and I was like “these players don’t even come close to representing that, are yall stupid?”
and then I looked at myself in the mirror.
Lot of love has been lost but I realize more now that it’s skewed me from the actual reason why we support this country. Yes there’s a lot of fucked up shit, yes this administration is actively hurting communities I personally interact with, yes I want Dave Portnoy to one day be sent to the deepest depths of hell.
But the more I think about it, the more I’ve realized that’s actually an even better reason TO SUPPORT the usmnt. With our administration bastardizing what it means to be American, it’s our job to show that’s not the case at all. It’s our job to join in unity and take back the Stars and Stripes from the fascists who WANT us to continue being divided.
For the past year I’ve let the federation and MLS dictate my thoughts on what it means to support this team, it’s difficult to not get sucked into that with everything else going on but that’s a loser mindset. They hold back this sport’s culture a lot for sure, but they sure as hell don’t define it. And I’m no longer gonna let them make me think so.
I still fucking hate Christian Pulisic tho
and that annoying ass stan account
@cyclops_psyops@DemonWhoress@ProgressiveVic@alziracealbe Does being pro-Palestine absolve one of all their other shitty opinions? Ukraine, like Palestine, is a litmus test issue and if you don't pass it you are not worthy of being a progressive
@MaxThaK1ng@ProgressiveVic The progressive movement is nothing if we don't call for all oppressed people to be free. We rightfully fight for Palestine, so why do we ignore Ukraine?
@MesoAnglic@BirthGauge The daily staple is white rice and curry, and a lot of it. Food is always cooked with ungodly amount of oil, with enough sugar in it to feed two villages. Malaysians also have this habit of deep frying vegetables
Roads are barely walkable, so people also don't get much exercise
@CTprogressive_@JonDArsen@MarkIslako@Lambert2191@pool_po31922 Do you seriously think that Russia will magically stop killing Ukranians, not annex Ukrainian land and not try to destroy Ukrainian culture if the US stops sending weapons to Ukraine?
This World Cup is making me appreciate Asian and American fans more. Waking up at stupid o’clock to watch Premier League games every week must be brutal 😭
