IF I’M NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR MY HEADSCARF, I WON’T PLAY CRICKET.!!!
Scotland’s only Muslim woman cricketer, Abtaha Maqsood, reportedly refused to play in the T20 World Cup after being told headscarves wouldn’t be allowed.
Following her stance & Cricket Scotland’s efforts, the ICC reversed its decision and allowed her to wear it ❤️
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
People like @lewis_goodall spend a fair amount of time bemoaning the beleaguered condition of this field, of traditional news media and commentary, but then, presents this amateurish dog shit. Which far more than anything feeds this idea they are bought off or just stupid.
Eugene McDaniels’ 'Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse' was one of the most potent political critiques ever recorded -- and the Nixon White House was rumored to have pressured McDaniels' label Atlantic to drop him.
This is his story:

No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
Qatar has held a World Cup where everyone who could afford to attend attended, wait till it's the USA hosting and they will have visa restrictions even on the players themselves 😂.
This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.
Also I wonder how many people know about the oldest idea of the Backrooms concept appeared in an episode of the Twilight Zone called Little Girl Lost (1962).
It's like the Backrooms but condensed down to its purest form. I'd recommend checking it out.
City vibes are hard to explain right now. There’s a guy smoking a cigar and holding a broom and everyone is shaking his hand as if he’s an essential worker during the pandemic.

One for @bbclaurak who asked on air "Why would Israel lie?"
A leak has revealed the IDF actually has a programme to train its people in the “fundamentals of psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, legitimacy and public diplomacy." https://t.co/yW2WeZakYA
I'm sure those well known defenders of Jewish people though will be along with more Antisemitic caricatures before too long of which the establishment will still have absolutely nothing to say weeks later....
The key to understanding this is that government after government delivered more and more public assets into private hands hoping that eventually, this would unlock the genies of enterprise and innovation, and what it’s done is raise the cost of providing essential services.
