@bballbreakdown@bangwithcamino@AMPMSose He used to but he got fired in a scandal so bad he couldn’t get a coaching job anywhere else after, and relies on social media for income oh wait 🤦♂️ that’s describing you instead.
I have noticed this as a former people pleaser. People seem to like me more now that I stand up for myself. Genuine, good people. The people who befriended me when I went out of my way to be nice 24/7 usually took advantage of me
Trying to imagine feeling so superior asking “where is this money coming from?” about kids playing soccer but never once about the existence of a trillionaire
The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.
Oh America is doing the is soccer too expensive debate. I interviewed the parents of arguably their best player, Chris Richards, last year and this is how they got their son through it. Imagine how many are lost to the game in similar situations.
Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports
Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
Millennials grew up being sold a world and rules that used to exist and used to work and have watched it all fall apart. People younger than millennials never even got the nice lies and ability to pretend they had a chance.
"competitive market with businesses selling a product that obviously customers are willing to pay for"
Can you imagine using these words to describe children's football
Mutuals who watch 1 footy game per year talking tactics, morality, and why it's rigged (they've seen screenshots of fouls that don't exist)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Btw lalas supporting the current system is basically proof that it doesn’t work. Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would never have had the money to pay for the American system. So we are stuck with players like Lalas and Pulisic as a result of this exclusion.
Same thing happened with the women in the Black Panther Party — hell Ceaser Chavez victims came out earlier this year and attributed their silence to this
Imagine losing your child, only to have strangers immediately tell you what you “should’ve” done. The world has become so desensitized to trauma that empathy comes second to being right. I understand the conversation about race, but this is not the time. Let that mom grieve first
Graceful even in defeat. No discreting the tournament, no individualistic thinking, no rigged claims. He said in an interview after the loss that Argentina had clear chances and missed, so they only have themselves to blame.
That's accountability, maturity and God rewarded him.
