You’ve never been to any other World Cup
You didn’t see the show Brazil or Russia or South Africa put on
You’re convinced this is the best, only because you think America is the best at everything, and it doesn’t matter what any other country thinks
You people are mad. Really
When Vini was 18 getting bullied, they were hanging mannequins with his face off bridges and calling him a monkey in every stadium. Guess men’s mental health wasn’t that important back then
This Angry Ginge situation is depressing… The amount of full blown, I don’t give a fuck Racists on every post about it is alarming… Being a racist prick isn’t free speech… It’s being a cunt..
My neighbor's kid just quit the high school swim team after three years of being the slowest in every event. Kid was devastated. Thought he just didn't have it.
His dad, who swam competitively back in the day, couldn't figure it out. The kid had decent form, He trained hard. But his times were consistently 15-20% slower than kids with half his work ethic.
Out of frustration, the dad took him to a sports medicine clinic to get evaluated. Maybe asthma, Maybe something structural.
Doctor runs him through some tests. Watches him swim, Pulls the dad aside after and says: "Your son's goggles are filled with water, He's basically swimming blind and has been compensating by lifting his head every third stroke to see where he's going. It's adding massive drag."
Turns out the goggles were cheap ones from a big-box store. Seal was shot, Had been for over a year. Kid just thought that's how goggles worked, that everyone swam with water sloshing around their eyes.
They bought him a proper pair. First practice back, he dropped 18 seconds off his freestyle time.
Eighteen seconds, Because of a $12 piece of equipment nobody thought to replace.
Coach moved him up two lanes within a month.
The lesson stuck with me, How many people are out there right now grinding themselves into the dirt, convinced they're just not good enough, when really they're just working with broken tools and nobody's bothered to check?
Sometimes the problem isn't you.

This one took my picture without consent and put a totally wrong narrative. Fyi, I WAS PAID TO WEAR THE KIMONO WITH HIJAB. The kimono shop wanted to attract more Middle East customers.
twitter might be the only place where “being mad at me for being late all the time is ableist” is a genuine take. you people cannot keep rejecting the responsibilities and social expectations of adulthood by hiding behind your adhd
She also wrote their names in the sand with her blood, went on to identify them and have them arrested for what they did to her. She's not just a survivor. She's a literal warrior.
It's so funny how American fans respond to the soccer offside rule, as if our biggest sport doesn't have an entire army of 8K cameras to determine by how many half-inches the ball is a first down or not.
