Does the average Black person even recognize what we need to be “liberated” from? These days “liberation” just means full and equal access to white institutions, which ultimately requires committed patronage from whites. Black liberation has been completely neo-liberalized.
The US is still holding our airspace in hostage, refusing to lift the ban on main airport, refusing to lift the airspace restrictions over Ouest, Center and Artibonite departments, coercing everyone to comply with an unofficial air embargo on Haiti.
There has to be limit to how much shit we are willing to take from them. The US is still blowing up people in the Caribbean Sea as well as tightening its hands around Cuba’s neck.
Caring about a damn jersey while the host country is blowing up your home and arming paramilitaries who are also killing the people left behind. If we wanted to honour our past and present, we wouldn’t be there period. We aren’t as principled as our ancestors were.

Doing so requires the US political project highlight who it views in the rest of the world as 2nd, 3rd, & 4th rate states + people. The targeting of journalists from these spaces also shows US intent to frame World Cup games & stories in ways favorable to US + western supremacy.
US political enforcement of its xenophobic and discriminatory practices against teams, fans, and journalists from predominantly Black, Brown, and non-US-allied countries — is part of its wider project of reasserting itself as the most powerful imperialist global hegemon.
Now in 2026 since the World Cup is being hosted in North America, with the US being the majority host — that this is a political event that priorities capital and national sentiment is only made more glaringly obvious as US political/national sentiment is just racist xenophobia.
People mad when athletes are told to just play sports aren’t just mad to be mad — it’s because real sports fans understand that these events are political & say something about capital as well vs neutered /neutral stories of underdogs and adversities overcame 😵💫
FIFA has always been a way for capitalists to gain profit from a global community of sports fans, wrapped in nationalist sentiments — where anyone could support any country or team based on that, given that sporting events (domestically and internationally) are political.
