#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:
“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”
On shaking ref’s hand postgame:
“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”
If you were born in America, you’re an American. You have a right to live here. Unless of course you’re American. In which case you’re living on stolen land.
Be the person who restores hope to the hopeless.
Be cool.
Be kind.
Build people up.
Teach something you wish you had known.
Encourage without expectations.
If you're ahead... reach back.
If you see potential… speak life into it.
Take it upon yourself to help people get better…
...And watch how fast the world changes.
