The door has not always been open for South Asians in football, but we have also become disillusioned and arguably comfortable in our small space.
The talent is there, the question is whether we bang on the door.
@NATHANDER9 on what South Asians in football need to do next.
Watch the full interview on Brown Town Rising's YouTube channel for more advice from @NATHANDER9 on what you can do after being released and much more https://t.co/UhQ97hxk6P

99% of young academy players get released at some point. @NATHANDER9's message to every one of them - you're in the majority, not the minority. The end of a chapter is not the end of your story.
Full interview in replies.
Around 0.02% of the population become a pro footballer. Around 0.2% to 0.5% become a lawyer. Both are less than a percent, but only one of those dreams gets shut down at the dinner table.
@NATHANDER9 on the reframe every aspiring young baller needs to hear.
🇵🇹🧤 This is incredible. João Costa joined Porto at the age of 10. He made his DEBUT for the Porto first team at the age of 30. It was also in the match that Porto were celebrating their league title! 👏
Farioli made sure to give him that moment. ❤️

Delighted to confirm I have been selected as 1 of 10 coaches from across the country for the FA’s National Mentee Development Programme, buzzing for the season ahead!
So many big football accounts and LFC Fan accounts not even acknowledging the Semenyo racism, let alone Jamie Carragher pretty much ignoring it - simply not good enough, to stamp it out it has to be called out and allyship is pivotal
Racist abuse should lead to a life ban from the stadium. All stadiums. Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused by somebody in the crowd. Disgusting and dispiriting that a half-hour into the new @premierleague season that a player is allegedly subjected to this. #kickitout
