🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says carers should be the "best paid people in society, not the worst"
"Many people from other countries have been caring for my dad. I want those carers to know that we appreciate you"
Let me say this very directly.
Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.
The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.
Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.
What impressed me about Linda Noskova was during the off-season, instead of a vacation at a luxurious beach resort, she went to Tanzania and volunteered at a school in Zanzibar. That maturity and humbleness has led her to this first Wimbledon final
Dear Ms. @SueNsibirwa
I understand the immense pressure and the difficult circumstances you are facing. But I want you to know that in the hearts and minds of millions of ordinary Ugandan especially those who have long felt oppressed, you are held in the highest regard.
Even if those applying pressure succeed in ending your career at @NationMediaGrp , they cannot erase the legacy you have built. Those of us who have followed and benefited from your leadership owe you our deepest gratitude for the professionalism, courage, and integrity you have demonstrated during one of the most difficult periods for Uganda’s democracy and press freedom.
If every media house in Uganda had a Managing Director with your courage and principles, our country would be in a far better place when it comes to freedom of expression, independent journalism, and public communication.
Looking back at my own career in journalism, one of my greatest regrets is that I never had the opportunity to work under your leadership. You are among the finest media executives our industry has produced and your example will continue to inspire generations of journalists.
Your leadership reminds me of Jeff Zucker, who stood firmly behind his newsroom as CNN came under sustained attacks from the state. Despite enormous political pressure and public criticism, he defended the independence of journalism and the responsibility of the press to hold power to account. History tends to remember leaders who choose principle over intimidation.
May the Lord strengthen you, protect you, and guide you through these difficult times. Whatever the outcome, your courage and commitment to journalistic independence have earned you a place in the hearts of many Ugandans.
Thank you for your service to journalism, your colleagues, and the nation.
@Wimbledon Shame on you Wimbledon. Denying Dan Evans a wildcard because he is a "part time" player and then giving one to Serena yet hasn't played a game in 4 yrs. And no farewell for Dan Evans. A bit of loyalty goes a long way.
